Got it. It's a command. I now realise I can echo text back to replace selected text. Excellent.
Another possibility is recording a macro that uses regex search'n'replace with scope set to selection.
This allows to check for conditions like the 'Selection as Anchor' which does:
findString: ^(.*@.*..*)|.*$ replaceString: <a href="(?1mailto\:$0:$0.html)">$0</a>
The find string matches an email as capture 1 _or_ it matches anything.
The format string makes it into an anchor and _if_ there is a first capture, it prefixes $0 (the entire match) with mailto:, otherwise it uses .html as suffix.
