FileMaker does not have such a function in its AS dictionary. You have to
know that it is impossible in normal way.
But....if you have a willing to spend a lot of time and understand the
limitations, there may be some way.
step1: If "select" means "text cursor is in", you can paste special text
(ex."999999") to the field using UI Element scripting.
step2: Get every name of every field on current layout.
step3: Find the field which has the special text you'd paste.
Then you *may* detect the name of current field if you are very lucky.
