JS for images selected in the LINKS panel

Hi, anyone knows of a JS to get the images properties e.g.name as selected (highlighted) in the LINKS Panel?

Thank you.

If there is exactly one link selected, then you can use this technique to find out about the link:

try {app.menuActions.item("Go To Link").invoke(); } catch(e) {};

That will select the linked item and so you can then examine the selection to get the information you want.

If you're using a non-English version of InDesign, you'll need to localize that string.

As far as I know, there is no way of getting info about selected items in palettes.

That goes for all palettes, like paragraphstyles, links, layers and so on.

Perhaps there is a workaraound making your own window palette with the extendscript UI.
