Haven’t found a way to get an event for single actor/object, buy you can bind an event to get notified by any selection, then check if its this actor/object.

AMyActor::AMyActor()
{
#if WITH_EDITORONLY_DATA
	USelection::SelectObjectEvent.AddUObject(this, &AMyActor::OnObjectSelected);
#endif
}

#if WITH_EDITORONLY_DATA
void AMyActor::OnObjectSelected(UObject* Object)
{
	if (Object == this)
	{
		// DO STUFF
	}
	else if (!IsSelected())
	{
		// UNDO STUFF
	}
}
#endif
