The problem is that I will eventually want to have some more additional functions available to act on a scene browser item, so I'm probably going to make a menu pop up when you click on the name.

That menu will have an item on it that will let you assign that name to the current selection, and then it can also have all sorts of other functions like "rename" , "remove name", etc...

It could be possible to then add in some kind of shortcut method for the assignment, like maybe right-click or ctrl+click on the name could do that.

But being able to access a variety of additional actions would give a lot of functionality and that's why I want to reserve the regular click for giving access to a pop up menu.
