I went ahead and tried coding up my second suggestion. It was really
easy actually. I haven't done a ton of testing with it, but seems
pretty good. Just select your content and run this script and it will
paste it into the document and select it.
tell application "BBEdit" to tell front window
-- Ensure clipboard is not empty
if (length of (contents of (the clipboard as text))) = 0 then return
tell the selection to set offset1 to characterOffset
paste
tell the selection to set offset2 to characterOffset
select (characters offset1 through (offset2 - 1))
end tell
