I'm trying to create a mapping that would allow me to visually select

lines (preserving indentation, etc), sorta like:
visually-selected-text-gets-piped-to>| /tmp/file1
Just use the :w command.
Visually select, then type : which will automatically fill out :'<,'> on the
commandline. Then you can do
:'<,'>w some_file
Or if you actually want to pipe to a command
:'<,'>w !some_command
Using :w won't change the name of the file you're editing (unless you're writing
the whole file and it doesn't have a name yet, IIRC).
