where do wishes go?
I have added a 'wishlist' label to the labels list and added the label to this message.
it would be nicer still if the cursor changed when hovering over a pickable element.
Currently the properties display is invoked upon a click event, so there is no hover capability.
I am fairly certain the functionality could be enhanced to support mouseover events, but this will require reducing the complexity of the calculations currently needed to locate the elements.
In any case we are only scratching the surface of possibilities. This demo processes 500,000 sprites and identifies the 100 or so nearest the cursor:

Zoom in a ways then zoom out. Note that a number of items have turned red.
I have used this code to create a demo that displays data from a CSV with over 274,000 records, I will show this soon, but it is currently broken because the API has changed since it was written.
Admittedly the Revit properties display has needs that differ from the demo. And I have some other demos. yada yada.
The main thing is that this is a good wishlist item and we now have a wishlist. Thanks...

i showed this to a colleague, and he says:
"nice to have the properties of picked elements. it would be nicer still if the cursor changed when hovering over a pickable element."
