I solved the callback issue by creating a new listener in `indra/newview/llviewermenu.cpp’ which responds to “Tools.EditLinkedParts” from the menu, and promotes or demotes the selection accordingly. Everything works great now.

Right now I’m using ; (semicolon) to toggle Edit Linked Parts, but I’m open to suggestions for a better keyboard shortcut. I want to keep it simple and within reach, because I switch this setting quite often while building.

I’m done, except for one hiccup: when you toggle Edit Linked Parts, it’s supposed to callback a function that modifies which prims you have selected. But, I haven’t made the menu entry perform that callback when it’s run, which means that your selection doesn’t change when you use the menu entry or keyboard shortcut.

Also, I need to think of a good keyboard shortcut for toggling Edit Linked Parts. Hmm.
