I suppose, all we need would be an additional checkbox "open for editing". If 
checked, it would generate the command

rk.edit (object.name)

. So far so easy. One thing I'd like to make sure, however, is that it would 
be nice, if the user could globally configure whether that box should be 
checked by default (currently, the default can only be set statically in 
the .xml). Perhaps also a sub-ordinated option "only when less than X total 
cells", to avoid people opening *huge* objects in the editor by accident. 
Alternatively (and maybe better), this check could be moved to rk.edit() 
directly, and it could warn/ask every time a very large object is opened.
