Description
For entities this is a common action in the PlayCanvas editor.
For assets it doesn't seem to be supported, and I can't think any reason why not (asset names aren't unique, the extension doesn't have any use):

Research direction
Start by locating the PlayCanvas editor's existing multi-rename action for entities and the asset list or asset rename controls.
