Try this:

OMM, keeping breaking up the System Events line into two commands works much faster.

Try this version:

set the_title to the clipboard

tell application "BBEdit" to activate
-- tell application "Pages" to activate


tell application "System Events"
  set myApp to application process 1 whose frontmost is true
  set myApp to name of myApp
end tell
display dialog myApp
if myApp is "Pages" then
  tell application "Pages"
    set the_url to the selection as text
  end tell

else if myApp is "BBEdit" then
  tell application "BBEdit"
    set the_url to the selection
  end tell
else
  return
end if


set the_text to " <a href=\"" & the_url & "\" title=\"" & the_title & "\" class=\"external\">" & the_title & "</a>"

set the clipboard to the_text _______________________________________________
