That should be there already. Might depend on the view.

I would like to avoid context menus if possible. Perhaps a right click

Does anyone else want this, so far I just hear Tshepang asking for this.
I guess it could make sense. It would be quite easy to add for the 1st

should stop us from merging it to master though, we can improve on 
tracker-needle as we go on.
