Very cool! I have the Vim plugin active, so double clicking the node summons vim. This doesn't stop active_path from working, but it's distracting. Maybe something like ctrl-click for active_path? When I dclick a filename and the headline changes from file.txt to @auto file.txt I would like it if active_path also loaded file.txt. into the node.
