Hi Bastian, I like this idea. The ability to leave the widget open and have it remain on top whilst interacting with the schematic will be useful as well.
Another CAD package I have used has two items under each sheet/block, labelled "Symbols" and "Nets", where double clicking on it would bring up the edit dialog. This might be a useful feature to implement for large designs if its not too much extra work.
