Description

I just upgraded from 0.9.1 to 0.10.2, I'd really love to be able to add properties by double-clicking the "custom properties" pane again. I've noticed the UI works differently now, and it's definitely more sluggish with the input window that comes up.

Research direction
Investigate the changes between Tiled 0.9.1 and 0.10.2 that affected the custom properties pane. Look at the source files related to the properties dialog and the action of adding custom properties (e.g., propertiesdialog.cpp or similar). Review the 6 comments in the issue for any hints about UI changes or maintainer feedback. Since the issue is old and has an assignee, check if any linked branches or work in progress exists. The goal is to restore double click functionality as a new action without reverting the entire UI change.
