Hi Max, well there's several complications with that.... There is no restriction that only one named object has to be selected and so what would I do if there were objects of several different names selected when you created a new object? Also I think this would probably be surprising to people if just their object selection had an effect on the properties of newly created objects, I can't remember any other program that has object properties behaving in that way, do you know of any examples?

In order to do something like that I think there would need to be some kind of special marker that you'd set in the UI (as there is with styles), not just do it based off object selection.
