This is actually how a double click should always be designed. It should
always be signalled as a click event followed by a double click event, and
all uses of double click should be natural extensions of a single click.
E.g. single click selects object, double click performs most frequent action
on it.

Otherwise, e.g. nasty unpredictable things may happen if you miss the double
click threshold by a couple of milliseconds.

So my point was, I guess, go for it!
