There is no directly easy way to do this with InDesign scripting. You might be able to do it using externally run AppleScripts or VB scripts, but if so, I don't know how.

About the only way to come close to this "inside" InDesign would be to have two scripts that cooperate with each other. The dialog/alert would say something like:

Please select a text frame and run script B.
