Edit in place to specific instance

Is there a function to go to a specific instance with edit in place in layout.

If several instances overlap at the same point, I want to go to a specific cell to edit shapes/vias/pins.

    I used dbGetTrueOverlaps to get the instance path is this correct method.
    What is the other values/integers the leEditInPlace needs

    leEditInPlace( hiGetCurrentWindow() ((db:12082048 0 0 0) (db:13240512 0 1 2) (db:13933796 0 0 0)) )

    Error message I get
    eipPathDb = ((db:0x2092e99c 0 0 0) (db:0x39e57f3b 0 0 0) (db:0x3094a09c 0 0 0) (db:0x39e5121c 0 0 0) (db:0x33b33a1a 0 0 0))
    *Error* geSetPushVars: Invalid instance - db:0x2092e99c
