This can be done in a command by taking the entire document as input  
and outputting the entire document as a snippet, wrapping the  
selection you want in ${0:…}, however this is bad because since the  
entire document is being replaced the TM parser has to rescan the  
entire file. If you know you only need to select on the current line  
then you can use just that for input/output which would be more  
efficient.

Ideally you would use a macro to do such things, if it is possible.
