Is there a way - using the python proton reactor API - to do what I'd call 
dynamic message selection?

By this I mean I'd like my application to do something like this:

1. receive message M1 on queue Q1 with unique correlation_id N.
2. send message M2 to topic T1 with correlation_id N and reply_to queue Q2.
3. receive messages - M3, M4, etc - to Q2 and use a message selector with 
correlation_id N.
4. messages to Q2 would eventually reach their expiry_time.
5. remove message selector on Q2 with correlation_id N.
5. event back to step 1.

Is this sort of thing possible with proton reactor?

Just that I'm not sure how I'd be able to create and then remove selectors that 
are no longer required.

Selectors are set when you create a receiver[1]. You can only remove them by closing the receiver (and then optionally opening again with a different selector (or no selector).

However, without fully understanding your use case, I'd suggest maybe using a different reply queue for specific messages rather than trying to use selectors for that. You can have reply queues created dynamically on demand (e.g. [2])
