Webloc files are easy:
tell application "Finder" to set fileList to selection as alias list
tell application "BBEdit"
open fileList opening in new_window
end tell
Unfortunately this doesn't work for image files. You can change the file
suffix to '.txt' and do it though.
tell application "Finder"
set fileList to selection as alias list
repeat with ndx in fileList
set name extension of ndx to "txt"
end repeat
tell application "BBEdit"
open fileList opening in new_window
end tell
repeat with ndx in fileList
set name extension of ndx to "jpg"
end repeat
end tell
Not elegant, but it works.
