Apply brush stroke to selection?

[lilpillzz]

Is it possible to have a 'stroke path' action where the 'path' is a highlighted selection (the marching ants)?

I want to be able to highlight parts of an image and dictate how the brush tool will stroke, outline, fill, that selected area without manually using the brush and without using the pen tool.

1) Create the selection

2) In paths panel click make path from selection icon (4th from the left)

3) Make sure the brush tool is active and the correct brush is ready

4) In the paths panel click stroke path with brush (2nd from left)

5) ctrl-z or cmd-z to undo last step if brush needs adjusting
