I like this idea as well. One thing I find very annoying is if I want to 
create a temporary one-time-use resource, such as a gradient, I have to 
create a new gradient, then edit it then use it. It should be possible 
to simply always edit the current in-memory gradient (and brush, etc) 
and then if I want to save it provide the ability to do so. When 
selecting another resource, if the current in-memory copy has a modified 
flag set, it would give the the option to save or discard changes.
