It would be cool if you could right-click on a component in the Library and change its type from one to another. For example, change a Button Component to a Generic/Custom. While working, I have discovered that a Generic/Custom component works better as a Button because I can force the Generic one to be in any state I want depending on what its parent's state is in. With the button I can only disable it. The other idea behind this suggestion is that I can have one component turned into a different type and still maintain any transitions/actions/x/y/etc. Obviously, there would be some broken components from this, like going from button to Vertical Scroll Bar, but it could be no different then the warning message that appears in the floating panel that states this component needs to be looked at.
