Is there any way to cause the same action as File > Open Selection

I'm trying to write a script that will take lines of grep -n
output, like:
[macintosh:~] > grep -nrie foo .
./path/to/file1.cpp:48: foo->bar();
./path/to/file2.cpp:28:// foo
And automatically parse out the file and line number from the start
of the (first) selected line and invoke File > Open Selection.
Finding file and line number was pretty simple, but I've haven't
yet been able to make the "open selection" part work.
I briefly tried doing UI scripting, but it seemed like my keyboard
modifiers for the key I was assigning to the script were being
picked up during UI scripting and getting in the way, both with
menu click actions and by sending keys to the application.
It is possible to attach a script to a menu item, that does not
require UI scripting. See page 278 and beyond in the BBEdit manual.
I've used this to sanitize the Open selection behavior for LaTeX, and
that seems to work. OTOH, that required me to create the full path
based on other information I could obtain at that point. I never
tried to include system libraries in such functionality.
HTMH,
