LUA for GUID of a manually selected contact?

[msc]

What is the LUA function to find out the GUID of a contact, which was manually selected (highlightend) on the map? (I looked into the documentation and forum, but was not able to find a solution.)
I want to select a contact with mouseclick (or multiple contacts with Shift+mousclick) on the map, start a "Special Action" and LUA should read the GUID for futher processesing.
Many thanks for your help!

You can highlight the contacts and press ctlr-c to put the ids into clipboard (but then it would contain the GUIDs), but I don't think any of the current functions take data from the clipboard.
Might be useful so I'll have a look to see how it could work - probably function to return a table of GUIDs, which can then be used as a source for calling the standard functions.

Thanks Michael,
an interesting method to find out the GUID quickly. (It would be nice to get the GUIDS out of the clipboard back into LUA...)

In the meantime I used this workaround:
I created a strike mission (just a dummy), where the player has to seclect his contacts (assign them as target).
Then when the player uses a "Special Action" Event, LUA can read out the GUID of the assigned targets for further processing.
