Description
Requesting a change of behavior for a double-click action on a QuickLook view of mobileconfig/plist/json files.
For most filetypes, like .txt, quicklook plugins will allow you to double click or triple click text to select blocks of text. Typically a doubleclick selects the full string of text and triple click selects the full line.
Currently Pique will open the file in the default Application for that file type upon double or triple click.

Research direction
Start by locating the QuickLook view and its double- and triple-click handling for mobileconfig, plist, and json files. Compare it with the text-selection behavior available for .txt files; done means double-click selects a text block and triple-click selects a full line instead of opening the default application.
