Currently there is no node selection in the navigator. But there probably should be, so that e.g. Compile File or Find Usages work as expected (same as in editor or Explorer). Exceptions: D&D and data transfer operations are not expected to be implemented in Navigator as they may not make sense (or they could be implemented somehow differently).
