I don't think so - there's a pretty obvious difference between
refreshing the tree on selection of a menu option or button click, and
simply refreshing the object that's selected.

No. it doesn't.

Updating the entire schema (it may well be that much, if everything is
expanded) is going to be far too expensive on anything but the
smallest database on a very fast machine. We have users with schemas
ranging from a handful to tens or even hundreds of thousands of
objects - for most them, refreshing a whole schema hierarchy on every
click is not an option.

I'd probably be happy with a patch that offered *both* "refresh object
on click" and "refresh object and children on click", but not just the
latter - the use case is just too narrow imho.
