Pre-Configure block in hotbar slot

Dovetailing onto https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers2/pc/topic/46035-paint-tool-should-have-individual-color-settings-for-each-hotbar-instance where Wilhelm suggests having the ability to have multiple paint guns on the hotbar, each "pre-loaded" with a different color, I'd like to suggest furthering that and making items in hotbar slots "pre-configurable" so that when they are placed down they start with that initial config - Maybe through a right-click context menu with a "Set Initial Config" option? That could also use the same context menu to have a "Set Color" or "Set Material" as approriate so that those could be pre-configured in the hot bar as well.

The quintessential example on this is any of the lights - rather than having to place them, go through another block to access the terminal, configure that light, copy that configuration, figure out which lights among your grid-list are lights that you want to change, and then pasting that config, it'd be much more convenient to be able to "pre-configure" an instance in the hotbar to have the color, intensity, and what not that you want, and then just place them. That also means that you can have your Accent Lights and your Fill Lights in the hot bar an swap between them more readily in flow with your building.
