AFAIK you will need to manage selection restoration semantics yourself, and it may not be easy and it may be fragile. Note also that the preserve and avoid empty selection settings will also have an effect. That being said, the approach would be--before adding/deleting outside the controller--to grab the managed object context's undo manager, open an undo group, add selection restoration operations, perform the operation, then close the group. This should cause the undo to restore selection. Of course, this is theory, as I haven't had to actually do it, and more experienced Core Data wranglers may have more to add.
