Have David, How about a Non-Modal, Pop Up with "Entity Info" about the currently selected object. OS X can do this (I think I've seen something like it on Windoz as well) The Panel could expose all the settings currently accessed though right clicking (Which, I admit, causes me frustration) This panel could appear in the upper right hand corner (which the user could change) or with an offset to the current selection (which would make it appear as if it were on the stage) Here is a screen grab of the behaviour I'm referring to from OS X.
