I do not understand what you mean. What type of MessageCallBack do you want?

In general, I do not like the idea of a picking *mode* which changes the
behavior of the selection mechanism based upon a script command.

I am thinking about mouse gestures which would allow one to make these
types of selections at any time.

Shift + Left Click will be used for something related to selections.

We cannot use CTRL Left Click because it conflicts with MacOSX

What should this MessageCallBack look like?

Note that the double-click behavior may *change* ... once I understand the
mouse selections and other mouse gestures that need to be made.

Why do you want to know that the user has made a measurement?

I believe that it is very difficult for you to keep track of everything
that the user does ... in English we would say *fighting a losing battle*
