Yes you can do exactly what you're describing using a grid menu.  This is of
course a more advanced technique, but if you wanted to make a scrolling theme
selector that shows a preview of the theme when you highlight it, then you
could do that with Mystic's menu system (no scripting required).

If you just wanted a lightbar selection of themes then you could do that with
the traditioal lightbar style menu.

To answer your question about GE 14, yes you can do that and I just realized
that I did not have that documented on the Wiki so I've updated the Wiki now:

   14 Theme Selection
   ------------------
   
         Syntax: [None] [/RELOAD] or [Theme Directory]
   Example Data: 14 mytheme
     
   When no extra data is provided, Mystic will prompt the user to select a
   theme.  If /RELOAD is provided, Mystic will reload the prompts of the
   current theme from the disk.  If a theme name is provided, Mystic will
   automatically switch to that theme without prompting the user.
