AVDocGetSelectionType TouchUpHighlightContentServer

[LWShay]

What is a  AVDocGetSelectionType of TouchUpHighlightContentServer equivalent to. I tried to represent the selection as a PDEContent but it produced a lot of errors.

The touch up tool doesn't offer an API; you can't work with its selections in your own plug-in.

So I'm assuming there is no direct way to interact with the tags within the tags panel, I can only access information stored on the page itself

Generally, no. I can't think of any interactive tools or panels that a plug-in can interact with. If you want a modified version of a tool or panel you need to start by reimplementing the existing functionality (which can't be an actual panel).

I think Adobe do this deliberately so they are free to change or reimplement tools completely between releases.
