Description

What is the feature you'd like to have?
Ability to handle double-click event in linear view (asm/*IL) for adding custom actions.

Additional Information:
Probably most cases with clicks anywhere in the linear view can be worked around by adding custom keybindings, but i think handling double-clicks is a more general way to deal with this kind of problems. As use case this feature can be applied to make transparent jumps to virtual functions.

Research direction

Start by locating the public API entry point for linear-view input events and the custom-action or keybinding registration path mentioned in the issue. Done means clients can register and handle a double-click in the asm/*IL linear view, including using it for custom actions such as virtual-function jumps.
