Right-clicking on an application in the Activities Overview list should give you options but also display program information

[Wise Melon]

In Unity when one searches for an application, if they then right-click on the application icon it provides the user with more information and focusses on the program and puts it in a sort of square in the centre of the screen (so basically it looks quit nice and slick). It puts the application icon big next to the title on the right and has a description of the application underneath, it then also provides options such as "Open" and "Uninstall" (I think so anyway, it's been a while since I used Unity).

Anyway, I think that when one searches for an application or views the listing of them in the Activities Overview that they should be able to right-click on the icon and get something similar rather than just a menu with a few options.

It would probably be good if the same was done for other file types and not just applications.

I have now also filed a report on this issue upstream: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761249

Though not exactly what I asked for, and I don't think quite as nice, my bug upstream was marked a duplicate of this one: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643043
