Or, if you are using the project drawer you can select the desired  
files and execute a tmcommand à la:

Input:
none
Command:
eval cat $TM_SELECTED_FILES
Output:
Create New Document

or write the output into a file

Input:
none
Command:
eval cat $TM_SELECTED_FILES > ~/Desktop/myoutput.txt
Output:
none



The same could be achieved if one modifies that code to catch  
directories as well.
