Select newly created feature

I have a script that creates a point with a mouse click (onMouseDownMap). The feature class is in a SDE geodatabase which has about 80,000 features in it. An edit session and an edit operation is needed, creating the point work just fine but i need some code after stopping the edit session to select the point that was just created to be able to pass to another function. The problem with starting the an edit session and an edit operation is that it clears the selection.

Any help would be awesome!
Thanks.
