Give us a Name Box in the ribbon to name objects on the canvas easier (like Excel has)

I think a VERY good habit to get in to when creating #PowerBI reports is to name every object on the canvas using the Selection Pane. And where you can, use a naming convention. (Sometimes you can't...e.g. names here are also used by Chart Titles).

You know what would make this soo much easier @MSPowerBI? A name box in the ribbon, like #Excel has. That would put object naming into my development 'flow'. Having to remember to bring up the Selection pane to rename things I've copied is pane pain.
