You want an EA to detect something in the MT5 GUI ? You need to use WINAPI for that.

What are you trying to achieve ?

If you really want to react in your code from a selection in the Trade tab, only WINAPI can do it. It's not easy if you don't have experience with this API. You can search on the forum there are several examples how it works, but then you will need to find your way to do what you want.

An other, simpler approach, would be to build a custom list of your trades on the chart, then just manage the mouse event with OnCharEvent().
