No Ctrl+click selects additional object. If you already have a selected 
object, and wants to select a new, you would need to use it to deselect the 
old then again to select the new. If you have many objects in your old 
selection, it becomes quite annoying.

I only need to point to JuK to find a application that realized double-click 
is better for management even if single-click is better for browsing. The 
idea of selecting one global setting just doesnt make any sense.
