Comment (by intoxination):

 Here's a plugin that allows ajax editing of comments from the manage posts
 screen:

 I did something similar about a year ago, hacking the manage screen. It
 was rather simple. The edit.php screen had hidden divisions for
 categories, author and the date picker. Clicking on a certain cell would
 attach that hidden division to that cell so you could change it (ie: click
 on categories would attach the floating category drop down list and show
 it). Once you clicked to close it, the changes were saved via AJAX.

 For titles I simply made it an edit in place. A similar approach should
 work here. The javascript side of it should actually be a little simpler
 now, as jQuery 1.2.x has methods built in to get the offset of an element,
 which makes it easy for positioning.
