Double-Click Behavior Modifiers

When I double-click on a file, the default behavior is to open the document in a new window in DT.

I realize there is a setting so that double-click opens the document in an external editor.

Having this be all-or-none behavior makes building muscle memory for a double-click workflow difficult. Regardless which I choose, sometimes I can double click and sometimes I have to use a completely different means to open a document. (Like Cmd-Shift-O)

Would you consider adding the use of modifier keys with double-click to change behavior for a particular double-click?

This would be similar to how Safari provides options for default behavior when clicking a link, but provides the use of modifiers when a link is clicked.

Also, there may already be a way to do this that I have not discovered. I am still using DT3.
