About M5, I'm still not sure what should we do with CAY-1077.
Switching
between single and double click is a minute work and I'd prefer we

Sorry, I kept postponing replying to this. Let me give it a shot
now... I stand by my earlier assessment - the browser has to expand on
a single click... looking at the comment in Jira by Kevin, "the
behavior of the column selector should be the same for the
relationship dialog and the prefetch dialog.", I think I am totally in
favor of following this approach. Here is what it means IMO:
1. The browser should expand on single click
2. "Target" should be a text label, not a dropdown.
3. (??) How do we allow a user to navigate through relationships
without dirtying the selection... It is probably evil to make a single
click selection as it is unclear to the users that they've just
changed something, when they simply wanted to browse around, so let's
make selection a separate step following prefetch/ordering selection
process for queries. So let's add a "select path" button, similar to
"Add Ordering" button for select queries (there won't be a "remove" I
guess, as we are only selecting 1 path). Maybe we can also improve on
the browser - a relationship target entity can be shown as a column
header of the browser panel on the right of the relationship.
Does this sound reasonable?
