Shortcut breaks with Stop and Output

I'm trying to make a shortcut that would either:

  1. If text is selected, open URL to search for input text
  2. otherwise (no text selected), output text (to fill out forms)

and I'm trying to avoid using scripts as they would require the user to have admin privileges.


Here's a simplified version of what I am attempting to do:


The "Open URL" action works up to adding the "Stop and output" action and stops working when it is added. However, I need the shortcut to output text when the user does not select search text. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this with a single shortcut? Thanks!

...Or, keep the 'Stop and output' action, tap on its 'Do Nothing' parameter and choose 'Respond' (with 'Text' as its parameter.)
