I'm not sure I was thinking in terms of OOC, but I had understood that
selection was a property and I was just trying things :)
Ok, since I need a collection that includes the selected items in the front
window, I can start by the window, then it's target (and that won't work if the
window is a search window) then its items but then I'd like to have a
"selected" property for the items and I don't see one...
So I'm kind of stuck aren't I ?
