#' Get the graph's edf filtered by a selection of edges
#'
#' @description
#'
#' From a graph object of class `dgr_graph`, get the graph's internal edge data
#' frame that is filtered by the edge ID values currently active as a selection.
#'
#' 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
#'
#' @return an edge data frame.
