Bug Description

The dialogs "Copper Zone Properties" and "Track & via properties" could have a button "Assign NET" located at
- Bellow the "Short nets by pad count" at the first;
- Left side of "Locked" checkbox for the second.

Clicking in this button:
1) The dialog windows will hide;
2) Pcbnew will wait for left click / <enter> in a track / pad / object with an already assigned NET;
3) Clicking, the dialog window will return with this NET selected.

Observation:
The button tip could it be "click in an already assigned NET object to assign this one".
The mouse cursor could change to some different icon.

About lp:1797680, if holding <Ctrl> key in the click (for the picker), it will wait the next click. This will allow to pick more than one PART_ID.
