I'm sorry, this is hopeless. Although this could be a very usable
feature (as in: not much clicking needed to reach some sort of
training/configuration) for people who know how that specific nautilus
feature works, it is totally non-intuitive. We should look further than
this, the possibilities with the user-interface are endless. The art is
to find that thing that feels natural and is efficient.
