Aidan,

You CAN select bonds, but it's not advertised. To see how it's done, do 
something with a few selected bonds (color them, for instance) and then do

show state

you will see how Jmol 11 allows selecting bonds and manipulating them as 
entities. No labels, no pick.

If you want to label and have pick callbacks on bonds, what you do is 
for whatever bonds you want you could put a transparent point using DRAW.

draw ptCenter1 (atomno=1) (atomno=3) translucent 1.0 "label"

and if you want, you could make that label appear when the user hovers 
over the "bond" i.e. point. I have to think if you can get a pick 
callback on that, though....
