Can you use AppleScript to select a file in Script Shortcuts? (As if it was ⌘-clicked.)

I'm looking to write scripts like Finder/reveal in fastscripts.applescript and AppleScript Editor/reveal in fastscripts.applescript.

Yes, the Finder has an AppleScript command specifically for revealing. You just need to find out what to do in your script to find the path and/or Finder alias for the item that you want to reveal. Here's a very simple example that reveals the root of your Mac's file system:

tell application \"Finder\"
	activate
	reveal POSIX file \"/\"
end tell

I meant reveal a script in the Script Shortcuts tab of FastScripts preferences, based on for example the path to the file.

I couldn't find a way to do it using the AS dictionary of FastScripts (or any workarounds using UI scripting), but did I miss something?

I see what you mean. No, unfortunately this is not something that is currently scriptable in FastScripts itself.
