Opinios, opinions, and opinions, that's all I get here.
That is also why we are here for. Thanks for letting us know you got our (correct!) opinions. Very kind of you.
I'll just point out that you have not once given any reason, purpose or need for this action (Have pointedly avoided doing so, even) and just gotten exasperated when you weren't handed a working answer for your purposes. Sometimes... it's not that simple and feedback on the 'why' can help steer a discussion to a productive end.

Well, they said it's a requirement from their client.
And they want a script to identify the RGB images and convert just those - I think.
Clients want the craziest things.
I believe a script is possible - so let's focus on the solution.
Hopefully they can post the full script of what they've worked so far so we can further enhance it for their needs.
All good - I get the frustration.
Thanks, Eugene, for your understanding.
The problem becomes really frustrating when people are not ready to accept the correct processes. There are still so many people around who prefer to work in the old-fashioned manner. They strickly say, 'please follow instructions' and we're left with no choice. I think it will take decades for them to understand.
Here's is my modified script that works well on the selected image. I have list-down all the possible profiles in the 'getCMYKProfile()' function. The script is working fine, but if a particular profile is missing, then no conversion takes place. So, I was wondering, if the script can fetch the profile list like Photoshop do, then my script will be more productive.
function convert2CMYK() {
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var selection = doc.selection;
if (!selection || selection.length === 0) {
// No selection, process all images in the document
var links = doc.links;
for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
var link = links[i];
if (link.status === LinkStatus.NORMAL) {
var image = link.parent;
if (image.constructor.name === "Image" && image.space === "RGB") {
processImage(link);
}
}
}
} else {
// Process selected items regardless of shape
for (var j = 0; j < selection.length; j++) {
var selectedItem = selection[j];
if (selectedItem.constructor.name === "Image") {
var selectedLink = selectedItem.itemLink;
if (selectedLink && selectedLink.status === LinkStatus.NORMAL && selectedItem.space === "RGB") {
processImage(selectedLink);
}
} else if (selectedItem.images && selectedItem.images.length > 0) {
for (var k = 0; k < selectedItem.images.length; k++) {
var nestedImage = selectedItem.images[k];
var nestedLink = nestedImage.itemLink;
if (nestedLink && nestedLink.status === LinkStatus.NORMAL && nestedImage.space === "RGB") {
processImage(nestedLink);
}
}
