So basically what I'm trying to do is create a very simple context menu with copy, cut and paste options. (See code below)

function ContextMenu() range
let choice = confirm("Context Menu", "copy\ncut\npaste")
if choice == 1
<selected_text>yank
elseif choice == 2
<selected_text>delete
elseif choice == 3
<selected_text>put
endif
endfunction

But as you can see from all my <selected_text> pseudo code, I don't know how to access the selected text from within the function.
