It can be passed the full path of a project. When project is not opened, this action opens it and closes it automatically.
Alternatively an object can be passed by a special DMBaseHandleContext.

Example

Example 1 (Full path of project)

XPamsDeviceSelectionAction /ProjectName:"C:\\My Folder\\MyProject.elk" //absolute
XPamsDeviceSelectionAction /ProjectName:"C:\\My Folder\\MyProject" //absolute without file-extension
XPamsDeviceSelectionAction /ProjectName:"My Folder\\MyProject.elk" //relative to standard-folder
XPamsDeviceSelectionAction /ProjectName:MyProject.elk //relative to standard-folder
XPamsDeviceSelectionAction /ProjectName:MyProject //relative to standard-folder without file-extension

Example 2 (Full path of project, in scripting)

CommandLineInterpreter oCommandLineInterpreter = new CommandLineInterpreter();
bool bRet = oCommandLineInterpreter.Execute("XPamsDeviceSelectionAction /ProjectName:\"C:\\My Folder\\MyProject.elk\""); //absolute
bool bRet = oCommandLineInterpreter.Execute("XPamsDeviceSelectionAction /ProjectName:\"C:\\My Folder\\MyProject\""); //absolute without file-extension
bool bRet = oCommandLineInterpreter.Execute("XPamsDeviceSelectionAction /ProjectName:\"My Folder\\MyProject.elk\""); //relative to standard-folder
bool bRet = oCommandLineInterpreter.Execute("XPamsDeviceSelectionAction /ProjectName:MyProject.elk"); //relative to standard-folder
bool bRet = oCommandLineInterpreter.Execute("XPamsDeviceSelectionAction /ProjectName:MyProject"); //relative to standard-folder without file-extension

Example 3 (object passed by context)

StorableObjectContext context = new StorableObjectContext();
context.StorableObject = hProject; //option 1: project
context.StorableObject = hFunction; //option 2: function
context.StorableObject = hConnection; //option 3: connection
new CommandLineInterpreter().Execute("XPamsDeviceSelectionAction ", context);
