Request: Ability to apply xEdit script to selected refs in Referenced By window

[fadingsignal]

Humble request! The Referenced By tab/window is a very powerful tool to be able to quickly see groupings of references, especially when they are scattered throughout a worldspace.

I often find myself in situations where being able to apply an xEdit script directly to these references from this view would be extremely helpful. Specifically selected references, as pictured, not all of them.

Thank you for your consideration!

You can handle references of a record from specific plugin with a bit of additional coding, in this case you will be applying script to XMarker record

function Process(e: IInterface): Integer;
var
  i: Integer;
  ref: IInterface;
begin
  e := MasterOrSelf(e);
  for i := 0 to Pred(ReferencedByCount(e)) do begin
    ref := ReferencedByIndex(e, i);
    if SameText( GetFileName(ref), 'SuperCoolPlugin.esp' ) then begin
      // do something with ref
    end;
  end;
end;

Oh and if you are going to redirect ref to another base object, then use reverse loop
for i := Pred(ReferencedByCount(e)) downto 0 do

He wants to be able to multi-select a subset of the records in the "referenced by" tab to apply the script to, not all of them.

@zilav Yeah as @ElminsterAU said, I'd like to be able to select certain records in Referenced By and apply script only to what is selected. However, your code is also very useful, so I appreciate it as well :)

@fadingsignal Randomly found this request while searching for something unrelated in Discord.

I implemented this feature in 96333bc for v4.1.4.

The PR for this was merged and should show up in 4.1.3h

Thanks @fireundubh
