Yes. This works. But then I can write simply:

echo '...'  | "$DIALOG" popup --initial-filter "$TM_CURRENT_WORD"

without --wait to have the same behaviour. It's seems to me that -- 
wait is useless in BASH(?)

Because, if I write:

echo '...'  | "$DIALOG" popup --wait --initial-filter  
"$TM_CURRENT_WORD" &

it does not work. My intention also was to get back the selected item  
as plist and do something with it. But I must write &>/dev/null.

Thanks,
