Can the script distinguish if I'm selecting an image or a text box?
For example, if I select an image, it returns: you selected image 1.
If I select both, it returns: You selected image 1 and textbox 1.

Seems like one even chatgpt could answer...

A script can do that, sure. For each item in app.selection, iterate through and alert(app.selection[i].constructor.name).
