🚀 go-pugleaf

Depends what the script is doing. Some scripts work on paragraph styles, so they can sniff out appropriate paragraphs (by using search & replace). For example (off the top of my head, so it might have an error or three):

myDoc = app.documents[0];
app.findPreferences = null;
app.changePreferences = null;
myPstyle = myDoc.paragraphStyles.item('Name');
myRefs = myDoc.search("", false, false, undefined,{appliedParagraphStyle:myPstyle});

Run this JavaScript and myRefs ends up as a list of references to paragraphs of interest that you can now operate upon.

Sometimes, I label a frame. Sometimes I just rely on the user clicking in the story of interest.

It all depends on what I want to do and the structure of the document (and, perhaps, on whether I'm writing the script for me or for some other user).
