son of "swipe to flag"

I had proposed a feature where one could swipe an action to flag it. Turns out the swipe to delete is not only a bit of a standard that people feel shouldn't be messed with, its also baked deeper into the frameworks than I thought. :cool:

Instead I'm going to propose a 'hold and popup' UI as can be seen in the app "flipbook" (and probably others).

The UI would look something like this. Press and hold on an action and a set of icon choices pops up in a bar just above your finger. Slide your finger onto one of those icons and release to choose.

It works remarkably well, and is a way of adding 4-5 choices of action very easily without cluttering or confusing the interface at all.

One of course would be flag. One could be jump to project/context (like the 'switch' icon in the desktop toolbar), what else....
