The @variable business works any time you would normally have a number or string in a command OUTSIDE of an atom expression. In just about every command this means no @ in an {atomExpression} context.
Since SELECT, HIDE, DISPLAY, and RESTRICT implicitly add { } around the entire set of parameters, you can't use @ in those commands. That's pretty much it.
