Topic: get entity data inside a block

[curmudgeon]

it would save me a lot of time, and I could do other programming......
and the boss, my lovely wife, would be MUCH more affectionate - (read: understand WHY I waste my time so. )

I have blocks with plain old simple text in them. I want to be able to select one of these blocks by picking the text and return the (1 . "good stuff").
this would impress her beyond words. she might even consider kissing me. measure that in microseconds, the considering of.

anybody have one on the shelf you can let me have, or point me to?
( anything that points me in the right direction is good too. I have a feeling it is going to involve nentsel. )

thanks.
