Select clipping mask path (with script)

var target = app.selection[0];
if (target.typename == "PathItem" && 
    target.clipping == true) {
    exit(target)
    function exit(target) {
        if (target.parent.typename != "Layer") {
            exit(target.parent)
        } else {
            target.selected = true;
        }
    }
} else {
    var clippingPath;
    var items = target.pageItems;
    enter(items);
    if (clippingPath) {
        app.selection = null;
        clippingPath.selected = true;
    }
    function enter(items) {
        for (var i = items.length - 1; i > -1; i--) {
            if (items[i].typename == "GroupItem" ||
                items[i].typename == "CompoundPathItem") {
                enter(items[i].pageItems);
            } else if (items[i].typename == "PathItem" && 
                items[i].clipping == true) {
                clippingPath = items[i];
            }
        }
    }
}

(If there are >1 clipping mask in the selected item, the topmost clipping path will be selected.)

Do you really need a script to do that?

Wouldn't it be easier to assign a keyboard shortcut to the Object menu > Clipping Mask > Edit Mask command and just use this route?

Or directly selecting the clipping path with the Direct Selection tool or the Group Selection tool?
