Only objects with names matching given mask will be included in the list of objects.

Note:
When attempting to open next selection window and if a selection window is opened, the operator will be
notified to close the previous selection window. If the operator selects an object type, that is already
opened in another selection window, the particular selection window will be automatically closed.
For example: a selection window containing a list of pictures is opened, and the operator configures user
macros and clicks the selection window to select a picture.
