Short answer: no.
Long answer: the library relies on some document-wide events to check whether a selection is present. And the selection itself is retrieved using the Selection API.
The problem here is that, although the selectionchange event is fired when you select something in a textarea... it doesn't happen in Firefox and I'd say that, in fact, it should not happen. So it's not reliable.
But what's worse is that when something is selected inside a textarea (or any other input field), window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0) yields either null or a collapsed range that has nothing to do with the textarea.
In short, as far as I know it's not possible to know the visual boundaries of a selection inside a textarea. Not without some unacceptable approximations.
