Is there a way to print a list of objects in room, but only if they have a certain flag or so?

just another question. I hope there's a way.
My goal is to give in object a 'throw' or verb which will print a list of objects that can get targeted.
Like:
>Throw marple
Throw at which target?
- Cornelius
- Laughing Goblin
- Window
You throw the marple at Cornelius. The goblin laughs louder.
I hope it's possible to make it look like this. I thought about using the flag "throw_target" and if I throw a object a list of all objects in the room with the "throw_target" flag appears. This would become very handy for many future usages in my imagination. Any solutions?
Thx, Curt

ShowMenu("Throw at which target?", targets, true) {

targets = FilterByAttribute(ScopeVisibleNotHeld(), "throw_target", true)
ShowMenu("Throw at which target?", targets, true) {

Thx, Curt
