How to paste and then select the middle of the output?

Questions & Suggestions
1

I want to paste:
00:00:00

Then have KM to select 00 (in the middle) in order to make it direcly editable.

(it is just a timecode)

So the result would be something like this (to end up anywere in TextEdit or Evernote):
timecode

The most likely timecode to change is minutes. So then it is already selected and ready to change.

You can do this using the %|% token position the cursor, and the Type a Keystroke action to type two shifted-arrow keys to extend the selection.
