Hi,

I strongly believe that the interaction should not be hardcoded in the example 
pragma name. That is because you will want all sorts of interactions once you 
go beyond the surface. For example, a Roassal visualization, a Bloc element, 
and a Morph are all interesting from an interaction point of view, but there 
are different ways to open them (and having it polymorphic does not quite make 
sense).

Cheers,
Doru
