#' Get edge attribute values from a selection of edges
#'
#' @description
#'
#' From a graph object of class `dgr_graph`, get edge attribute values for one
#' or more edges.
#'
#' This function makes use of an active selection of edges (and the function
#' ending with `_ws` hints at this).
#'
#' Selections of edges can be performed using the following selection
#' (`select_*()`) functions: [select_edges()], [select_last_edges_created()],
#' [select_edges_by_edge_id()], or [select_edges_by_node_id()].
#'
#' Selections of edges can also be performed using the following traversal
#' (`trav_*()`) functions: [trav_out_edge()], [trav_in_edge()],
#' [trav_both_edge()], or [trav_reverse_edge()].
#'
#' @inheritParams render_graph
#' @param edge_attr the name of the attribute for which to get values.
#'
#' @return A named vector of edge attribute values for the attribute given by
#'   `edge_attr` by edge.
