+1 for Heikos suggestions. I like b) as enhancement.

All other ideas are a UX mess. Most people don't know the concept of selecting
something by multiple mouse clicks without strong visual response (e.g. a
checkbox). Then people will be surprised when files are not recovered because
they've accidentally clicked with mouse or tab at one file in the list.

PS: What information is requested with the needinfo state?
