Using an external Script, I am trying to select a pre-named

The "open" command refers a reference to the document just opened.
The "select" verb is not appropriate for use on files; it will
only work on "document" objects.
This (or something like it) ought do what you want:
tell app "BBEdit"
set openedDocument to (open POSIX file
"/path/to/some/file.txt") -- substitute your actual file path here
select openedDocument
end tell
