The selection tool in Preview just creates a snapshot of the selection. A TIFF image. This has nothing to do with PDFSelection. PDFSelections deal only with text, so I think they are not rich enough for your purposes. I guess you may have to delve deeper; parsing the page streams (you can use Quartz for that), and rolling your own selections. Not a quick and easy task.
