Openbox-highlight text, keybind command to search as location in firef

Hi there,

I use the keybinds in Openbox alot.

Is it possible to use highlighted / marked text as a variable in a keybin-command?

For example:

I want to highlight text eg: Holstenstraße, Kiel
then I want to hit a shortcut and this command to be executed:

<keybind key="W-q">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>firefox http://maps.google.de/maps?q={the text I highligthed}</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>

Any hints or suggestions?


Greets,
moere
