 With the move away from wpdialog in WP 3.9, the wpLink modal no longer
 triggers an 'open' event.

 I was using that event in a plugin to allow users to automatically search
 using text that was selected in the editor (a similar feature was proposed
 and reverted in #16276).

 Without the event, it's not possible to reliably determine when the wpLink
 modal is opened in order to interact with it. The attached patch adds a
 new event to maintain similar functionality with previous versions.
