This is dependent upon NEWTAG-303 and cannot be implemented until that is complete.

The proposed format for linking CHOOSE:ABILITY to ABILITY: is not possible in the new core.
ABILITY selects an ABILITY and ABILITY: applies an ABILITYSELECTION.

To understand the distinction, consider a Feat like Martial Weapon Proficiency.

The Ability is Martial Weapon Proficiency.
The AbilitySelection is Martial Weapon Proficiency (Longsword)

Applying the former to a character is not meaningful (and reintroduces bugs we had with Martial Weapon Proficiency in the past that we fixed by introducing CHOOSE:FEATSELECTION).
The only thing that can be applied is the selection, and that requires CHOOSE to be able to produce a selection (see NEWTAG-303)
