Yes. When expanding, icons for additional objects would be added to
the left (up to a certain amount). An arrow would indicate more
objects in a direction. Then you could kind of move that list to the
right until you lock in on the desired object. See the attached series
of images:

1. Press key to switch object
2. Move right
3. Move right
4. Confirm selection

Hm ... how would that look like? Not sure if we really need a fancy
effect though ... as long as it is convenient and intuitive to use :-)
