This seems like a major limitation to me as anyone who has set up a  
project with selected files has made a specific choice about what  
files are in the project and what files are not.  Project related  
command should respect this - I think internal commands (search in  
project) do and so should external (bundle) command where  
appropriate.  TM clearly knows what files are in the project so it  
would seem trivial to set an environmental variable to the file list  
that a command could then reference.  Setting environmental variables  
with the current word or selection would seem a much harder thing to do.

Great product and belated congrats on the award.

Dave.
