Both Microsoft Windows and Apple MacOS (including X, I guess) allow you to keep the button pressed a little longer to rename, instead of select, a file. So the "keep it pressed longer" action is a known one. Keeping the button pressed longer to edit the text where the link is seems natural. I like this idea. Kai
