    There is no direct ACT command to promote a contact to a named selection. However, it is possible to obtain the IDs of the contact and target faces, and create named selections based on those IDs. Below is a demo script :

        cont=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Connections.Children[0].Children[0]
    myContactIds=cont.SourceLocation
    myTargetIds=cont.TargetLocation
    NS_Contact=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.AddNamedSelection()
    NS_Target=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.AddNamedSelection()
    NS_Contact.Name='Contact Side'
    NS_Contact.Location=myContactIds
    NS_Target.Name='Target Side'
    NS_Target.Location=myTargetIds
