What if you copy the displayline script and replace the last part as follows:
/usr/bin/osascript \
-e "set theLine to ${line} as integer" \
-e "set theFile to POSIX file \"${file}\"" \
-e "set theSource to POSIX file \"${source}\"" \
-e "set thePath to POSIX path of (theFile as alias)" \
-e "tell application \"Skim\"" \
-e " if $activate then activate" \
-e " if $revert then" \
-e " try" \
-e " set theDocs to get documents whose path is thePath" \
-e " if (count of theDocs) > 0 then revert theDocs" \
-e " end try" \
-e " end if" \
-e " open theFile" \
-e " tell front document to go to TeX line theLine from theSource showing
reading bar $bar" \
-e "end tell" -
and then use the copy?
