Using 8.1.25 and Perspective Alarm Summary.

What I want to do is click on a row in the alarm summary and perform some kind of navigation. Ultimately I will want to grab the display path, that value is all I need.

The issue, I don't want to do a single click, as I want the operator to still be able to select and acknowledge, etc. A double click doesn't seem to be an option as the first click selects the alarm and then the next click unselects.

Anyone have any ideas on how to click on an alarm and then allow the operator to perform an action?

Forgot about the new context menu. There is also an  
Internal ticket that will add events such as onRowDoubleClick.

Each component's context menu is disabled by default, and may be enabled by setting the meta.contextMenu.enabled property.

Were you able to click/rightclick on an alarm and have a custom popup? I cant find anywhere that you can get the 'clicked' alarm properties in a script.

I don't think that is possible, although I'm not 100% sure of that. The context menu was perfect for my use case.
