[Chandler-dev] d-click to pop up independent detail view

What I'm worried about is that the most discoverable way to open a  
new window and the most discoverable way to edit an item in-place are  
the same: d-click on the item.

My guess is that opening a new window is less common than editing an  
item in-place. But if we make it a keyboard command, most users won't  
discover it.

So I'm proposing that we add an icon to the mark-up instead + come up  
with an alternate keyboard command to open items in new windows. (eg  
triple click, ctrl-cmd-I, ctrl-cmd click, etc)
