Maya Mel script to select faces with material displayed in attribute editor

sha

when you select an object, the attribute editor allows you to see all the shaders assigned to it in different tabs, what I would like to do is have a script that essentially does a "select objects with materials" hypershader  command on the currently active tab of the attribute editor without opening the hypershader (which is slow and cumbersome). is this possible? I havent managed to find a way to see what's currently displayed in the attribute editor via mel. thanks a lot for any info!

This command selects the objects using a certain material: 

hyperShade -objects "MyMaterial";

This is probably way more than you need, but I have a fast-acting script that lets you work with materials while avoiding the Hypershade.  Creating/Renaming/Assigning/Selecting materials (and much more) all in one organized location.
