Feature suggestion: Prop name hint in the Scene Editor #429

This could be helpful in building variations TV mode sets by scanning items in scene files and replacing them randomly or manually by command in playing scenes. Many item prop pivot placements, scaling and orientations will need fixing. Getting prop transforms in the right ballpark everywhere makes TV mode modding, live scene juggling and editor experience more enjoyable.

Knowing prop names would allow opening the scene file in a text editor or external batch scripting, making direct modifications.

Listing scene prop names (and all editor prop names, with a alphabetical or category filter) with a console command would be useful in playing scene replacements, like ReplaceProp "whatProp" "withwhat". Knowing names would also help in forming prop grouping commands.
