Is there a different way to solve this? For instance, do you wish to be able to see the filenames in a given directory and then choose from them? Rather than deal with trying to write code which breaks into the File Manager and just channels the name of a randomly selected file?

The only way I know that does it would be to select the file in the GUI, right mouse to get a menu choice or just F2 to rename and when it now selects the file name for re-naming, copy that and then paste that into your terminal session. Likely this isn't what you want to to. Sounds more like you want screen spy type of software so it will grab files that someone touches with the mouse pointer. I don't believe it would be mouse software either, instead it would be breaking into the code for the desktop manager or the file manager to determine what file(s) are selected and then channeling that information out a program resource to place it on your terminal.
