FVWM: Get current mouse selection in fvwm2?

Is there any way to get the current mouse selection in an fvwm2 function
as use it as a "variable"?

i.e., I'd like to highlight something (like a machine name, for example)
and then select a menu item or press a function key that would execute an
fvwm2 function that would log me in to that machine. e.g.:

AddToFunc RshHost "I" Exec xterm -T $0 -n $0 -e rsh $selection &

where "$selection" is just something I made up that would contain the
contents of the current X selection.

Any ideas?
