If you're wanting the result of a printit to be easily inspectable I see a couple of easy options -
a) the printit is already highlighted so all you have to do is cmd-i
b) if that isn't good enough - maybe you clicked somewhere else and want to go back, and it's too much work to select the relevant text - how about adding another text attribute for 'inspect this'? We already have 'do it', 'print it' and 'link', and I assume you're intending to add 'code style it' sometime soon.
