Hi
Great topic. I've just been through the same thing and we actually
usability tested affordances around double clicking (indirectly) on a
topology diagram one of my clients has. We used four users, three of
whom were regular users, one of whom hadn't touched the product in
awhile and gave them t

I right-click a lot as we
I'm a rare Mac user who regularly uses right-clicking; I find that
most (even PC-converts) look for menus and buttons before they think
to right/control click on something. And I agree with that - right
clicking is counter-intuitive and inherently invisible.
Since your map isn't like anything else
Your UI is interesting since it alternates information about the
current location and what the user hovers above with the mouse.
If you had one list/item for "where am I?" and one list for "what
am I hovering?", you could add the "Show in Finder" as a button or
list item to the former.

Looks like your designers have worked hard to give the app an aesthetic
minimalism - which looks fantastic but you might have to compromise it
slightly to make the controls more discoverable.
