Wrap selection in a link

I'd really appreciate some help with something I'm trying to achieve.

Here's what I'm trying:

I display list of pages from my website
User selects something in the fckeditor
When a page from the list is clicked on the selection in fck is wrapped in a link to the page of my site

I can't seem to find a way to wrap the selection in a link.
What I have been able to do is when a user selects a page I enter a new link into the editor, with the following.

oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('fckArticle') ;
oEditor.InsertHtml(LinkToPage);

I don't think this needs to be a plugin as the list of pages is external to the editor, but I may be wrong.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

Re: Wrap selection in a link

Maybe I wasn't clear

I've managed to sort if...

get the selection, if there is any

var selection = "";
if(oEditor.EditorDocument.selection != null) {
   selection = oEditor.EditorDocument.selection.createRange().text;
}
else {
   selection = oEditor.EditorWindow.getSelection();

Then wrap the selection with the link

oEditor.InsertHtml('<a href="' + pathtopage + '">' + selection + '</a>');
