Since it is a row operation, you are at the mercy of whatever variable shows up in the first column should you want to do further exploration of a result, thus the desire to be able to drag a cell. > 2.

The use case I was thinking of was when using the query builder to navigate and ultimately generate a result set, the user may want to export the results for further analysis or reporting. For example, I would like to start using TBE/L for project reporting that requires bubble charts as output. I can envision the data being stored in an ontology and a query written to return the report data. Until I can use bubble charts from within TBE, the results will need to be exported for charting in Excel or other charting tools. > 6.
