Select a sketch as an input source?

For example, using the Extrude feature, if I select a sketch from the Parts Studio feature list, the input box says "Faces of Sketch 1" (and extrudes them).
The standard library code (extrude.fs), handles a lot of different input scenarios, and so far, I haven't been able to tease out the bit that accepts the user clicking on a Sketch, to select the faces within for the operation.
What's the trick?
