Open a new menu when clicking on an inventory item
Hello 
I am seeking help... I have an object in my game (it's a Morse Code translation sheet) that players pick up and add to their inventory. When they click on that item only, I would like for a new "menu" to open in which I have it display a large version of that document with a button that allows them to close it. I have all of this built, however I am having trouble actually getting the inventory click to do what I want. Is it possible to have this type of interaction just for a single item in the inventory box without making that behavior apply to all items in there?
I appreciate very simple explanations as I do not speak C#.
Thanks!

Howdy, Stranger!
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!

If you select the Item in the Inventory Manager, scroll down to the bottom to find its "Standard interactions" panel.
This panel will adjust a little bit based on your settings, but if you have a field named Use, then any ActionList you assign there will be run when left-clicking that specific item.
More on this topic can be found in the Manual's "Inventory interactions" chapter.
As always, thanks for the speedy reply. :-)
What might be some of the (million) reasons that I can't get that to work? I'm guessing it's something simple that I'm just forgetting to select or deselect, but I cannot get it to open for the life of me!
I learn a lot by reviewing posts here in the forum.
I followed what Chris suggested and I was able to have a TestMenu appear after selecting an item in the inventory.
I uploaded a screen shot of the Inventory menu and the ActionList I created as a test. I also linked a very short video to show how it works in-game. Here again, this was just a test to see if I could get it to work via Chris' note.
Chris, I hope you don't mind and if I'm off base here, please let me know. Just thought I'd help if I could...you've helped me many times.

To know what the issue might be, I'd need to see what you have so far. Can you share screenshots of your Settings Manager, and the properties of a typical Inventory item in the Inventory Manager?
Screenshots can be posted to imgur and linked here.
Miraculously, I finally managed to get it working! Thank you both so much for the help! :-)
