In Day of the Tentacle, and possibly other SCUMM games that had that interface, you could right-click an object to perform the default option, which corresponded to the most obvious one. So they obviously recognised to a certain extent that having such a multiplicity of verbs was a bit clunky on its own. The system was almost certainly a direct adaptation of the old text adventure interfaces, but without the need to type the command directly in.
