Eh, it's hardly seamless, and double clicking is extremely uncommon on the web so that would be a big red flag.

Double clicking on the web is extremely common with older less technically adept users. This same cohort is also the most susceptible to scams.

Another obvious case of double click is to select all text in a given area. This one is a bit more obscure though.

Edit: Actually that's generally I guess triple click. Double to select a word.
