I know this is an old article, but the user interface
of doing this would be horrendous!

Double-clicking is ALWAYS an extension of single-clicking;
this is not only for programmatical reasons but for users
well-being too. If you want to distinguish between different
kinds of clicks, use the right & left button, or use the
shift/alt/control keys creatively :-)
