Accessing the selected records before firing a bulk action

Hello, is it possible to access the selected records somehow before firing a bulk action, maybe using javascript or if there is a function that let's me access them as soon as i select them?

Hi, you could do this for example with a custom BulkAction: 
BulkAction::make('bulkEdit')
    ->name('My action')
    ->icon('heroicon-o-pencil')
    ->form([
        Select::make('a_select_field')
    ])
    ->action(function (Collection $records, array $data) {
        $data = array_filter($data);
        return $records->each->update($data);
    })
    ->deselectRecordsAfterCompletion(),
BulkAction::make('bulkEdit')
    ->name('My action')
    ->icon('heroicon-o-pencil')
    ->form([
        Select::make('a_select_field')
    ])
    ->action(function (Collection $records, array $data) {
        $data = array_filter($data);
        return $records->each->update($data);
    })
    ->deselectRecordsAfterCompletion(),
You also have the before() method: 
Tables\Actions\DeleteBulkAction::make()
    ->before(function (Collection $records) {
        // ...
    })
Tables\Actions\DeleteBulkAction::make()
    ->before(function (Collection $records) {
        // ...
    })
