It would be so cool to have an edit pencil showing next to a component. Say a date string which is shown as a basic text element, but with a small edit pencil next to it and the user clicks on it to set the date right there.

Basically like the Notes functionality where the rich text element can be viewed and edited right there, but for all components.
