Select similar color

Hi,
I would like to select automatically line art using specific colour from previous selection. Problem is, previous selection is a line art selection combined with region selection. I am trying to create an action for not properly specified die lines.
Main task is to separate cut from crease and rename both lines for automatic imposition in situation where I dont know cut and crease color values, names, layers etc. Unfortunately customer send files with wide variety of spot color names, RGB and even CMYK values.
I believe I could find automatically main cut line by selecting lineart close to the page edge. But I want also check if die lines with same colour are used in other areas. These should be also cut lines. If I could select all these and rename colour as Cut spot, I could easily find all other lines and rename as Crease.
I know there are more difficult situations and die forms with multiple different lines and technical information but this iwould be for basic files, something I still would like to automate.
Any ideas? I think I know how to do it with PS + Switch but I wonder if it could be done with using only PS?
