Howdy,

Huh? Certainly not in an Engine file.

Maybe better done in a macro. As a matter of fact there is a nice  
Macro, written by Matthew Hill, that will open up a package, class,  
etc., when you select the name of the package, etc., in its command in  
the source file and then run the macro. I use it quite often.

-- applescript direct
-- ---------------------------------------------------------------
--     Open Selection
-- ---------------------------------------------------------------
--  This script is designed to run from TeXShop and iTeXMac.
--  It is designed to open a file that has been selected.
--  (e.g., if you select "blagh" in "\input{blagh}", it will then
--  try to open "blagh.tex")
--
-- --------------------------
--  Detailed Description:
-- --------------------------
--   1.  The script gets the current selection from the top document
--         and the path to the file
--   2.  If search_context is true and there is no 3-letter file  
extension,
--        then grab a chunk of preceding characters, and use the last
--        paragraph of that chunk as the selection's "context."  Look in
--        this context for commands with known file-extension mappings.
--        (e.g., "\bibliographystyle" will map to the extension ".bst")
--   3.  Run kpsewhich to look for the file (if kpsewhich isn't in  
expected
--        location, then just check current working directory)
--
--  Known Issues:
--       iTeXMac document is opened behind other documents
--       Context search can fail if linefeeds in middle of statements

--     Properties
-- ----------------------------------------

--   search_context:    (boolean)
--        If the selection does not include a 3-letter filename
--        extension and search_context is true, then the script
--        will check for a preceding latex command to indicate what
--        file type to look for.  (also see file_extension_map and  
context_search_range)
property search_context : true

--   file_extension_map:    (list of records)
--        When trying to determine the context of the selection,
--        will look for these tags preceding the selection and then try 
--        to use the corresponding filename extension.
--
--         The PREFIX field is a hack to handle files outside the  
teTeX path.
--         It gets prefixed to the file name prior to the file search.
--         For example, if you set up a command to include figures:
--               \newcommand{\myfig}[1]{ \includegraphics{figs/#1}}
--         Such that all figures are PDFs in the subdirectory "./figs",
--         then you could add a record to file_extension_map:
--                {tag:"\\myfig", extension:".pdf", prefix:"figs/"},
--
--        Note: watch the ordering, as the list is checked in order  
and the
--        first match will be used.

--         and \bibliographystyle should come before \bibliography)
