Try to open it and, if you get the error "Cursor is past end-of-file" (or something like that) then you know its not a selectable. You can trap it in the handler that tries to open the dataset. Let's say the error is declared as ENotDataset:
...
try
Prepare;
except
on E: ENotDataset do
{ whatever };
end;
if Prepared then
Open;
...
But it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense, because you'll use different components for selectables and executables (query + controls for a dataset, dsql + no controls for an executable).
