I haven't found yet a nice and fast way to select UV shel borders but you
could try this:
Set Sync Method to "Components" in your Tex.Editor Prefs,
Set Selection filter to Polygons and select your UV. It will select all
Polygons that are using those UVs.
Now you only have to convert that selection to their edge borders.
You could do it with RCTools Select Outline.
It is basically this:
//JScript:
//-----------------------------
SelectFilter("Polygon");
InvertSelection("Polygon");
SelectAdjacent(null, "Edge");
S_tmp = Selection(0);
SelectAllUsingFilter("Border_Edge");
if(S_tmp) AddToSelection(S_tmp);
InvertSelection("Edge");
S_inner = Selection(0);
SelectFilter("Polygon");
InvertSelection("Polygon");
SelectAdjacent(null, "Edge");
if(S_inner) RemoveFromSelection(S_inner);
//-----------------------------
