Hmm. although Solidworks is always in a modeless modal state ( hard  
to describe, one tool is always active, and you make settings before  
applying, but not real modal as you can do other stuff), this  
particular feature is not modal at all.

How it could works in blender :

- shift-click in textarea allowing input like bone-name. it becomes  
highlighted and you can type as usual
- if you then right-click on a bone, that bone name is transfered to  
the box and you go outside textarea edit . selection state of the 3D  
view is *NOT* changed
- if you click anything else you go outside textarea edit as you can  
expect.


No Mode, no loss when compared to actual solution. but very  
convenient eg for constraints
