Get GUID of Item Selected in Diagram or Property

[JonathanBB]

I need to use the Automation Interface to get the GUID of a selected item, such as
- a Connector/Link to an Element or
- a Requirement that is internal to a Use Case.

I can only find the EA.Project.getTreeSelectedItem method which gets the GUID of one Item selected in the Project Browser.

However, I can't find a method to get the GUID of an Item selected, for example in a Diagram or a Properties Editor, or the Hierarchy View. I find it necessary to use these other "views" because the Project Browser does not display the types of Item which I want to select (they are generally sub-items of Elements) .

Can I display more types of Item in the Project Browser?
Can I get the GUID of an Item selected in a view other than the Project Browser?
Am I missing something?  

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks,
Jonathan Beebe

EA.Repository.GetContextItem() works the same way as getTreeSelectedItem but works for items selected in Diagrams too.  There is also EA.Diagram.SelectedObjects.

So, Repository.GetCurrentDiagram().SelectedObjects will get the objects selected on the current diagram.
