I hate to throw down a good idea like this, but Adobe actually has a patent on this "technology". They just finished suing Macromedia over it (and I have not idea what FCP has it, maybe they licensed it), but you ought to check the legality of it first.

Nonsense. Nobody can patent such thing -- if so, next time you could patent using right-click for contextual menu. You can patent a solution (complete with detailed description of how you did it), not a generic idea.

Or did the U.S. patent law go entirely mad?
