I'm not saying that's the best approach but I've been using the
"double click for detail" paradigm for more than 15 years, as this was
the "default" with 4th Dimension. I'm in the process of porting this
in-house application to Cocoa/PostgreSQL and will probably continue
using double-clicking to show the details views. It's been used in
many applications (Mail, Xcode to name a few) and even Apple's Finder
uses this paradigm (double-click to see folder's content) so I'm sure
users will get it pretty fast.
