Hi Matt,
	I’m envisioning some kind of Rube Goldberg setup where you are.  Is anything steam powered? :-)
	Anyway, the Model Panel isn’t exactly setup for reaching in like that, but nonetheless the code would be:

from ModelPanel import renameCmd
from ModelPanel.base import _mp as mp
renameCmd(mp.selected(moleculesOnly=False, groupsOkay=True))

You might want to test whether mp.selected actually returns something non-empty before then calling renameCmd...
