Comment (by Eben):

 The rollover state should definitely include a "Resume" (or whatever term
 we use for open) action.  I don't have a problem with the double-click,
 but as mentioned, this is not something we're using anywhere else in the
 system, so it shouldn't be required to learn.

 The other question to consider is which items in the clipboard actually
 have a "resume" action associated with them.  Clearly any object that was
 created via an activity is essentially an instance of that activity and
 should have this option.  However, if I copy a sentence of text, can I
 "resume" it using the default Write activity?  Perhaps I can.  Maybe
 creating a new activity from a clipping would be useful - it actually
 saves the steps of having to first launch a new instance of an activity
 and then pasting the clipping into it.  Though, if we support that, we
 still need to think about the "resume with..." option as well, since there
 would need to be a way to specify which activity to "resume" it with.
