I have not run into the 'object name-length limit' yet, but I could see
myself getting there some day.

In the Browser you get
  the name
  the material, if present
  the layer, if present
Would adding a forth entry be what your looking for?
  comment, if present

The 'Material Editor' has a comment option. How about when we 'right/click'
on an object in the Browser, one of the options in the drop down list is for
a view/edit comment? I would prefer this approach.

The last point in your post is interesting to me, 'find my way around a
complex scene'. I'm starting to have this in some of my scenes. I'm not sure
of any ideas to speed this up.
