System Information
Operating system: Linux-5.15.0-46-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.35 64 Bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 515.65.01

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.4.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2022-08-18 05:55, hash: 0aaff9a07d
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
Two days ago there was a commit ( 8aa094263b ) to fix the creation of overrides on modifiers by shift clicking on the “chain” icon.
This is working (again) now, but I noticed that the shift click workflow to override linked data blocks isn’t working with e.g. objects, at least not how the popover promises.

Example:
A simple scene where I link a simple cube from another blend file:

If I hover over the chain icon it says “…Shift + Click to create a library override”. Awesome, but If I shift click it nothing happens.

If I instead right-click on the object in the Outliner and use “Library Overrides > Make > Selected” it works and does exactly what I would expect from shift clicking the icon.
Is this an oversight?

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Download these both blend files and put them in the same directory
LIB_Cube_v01.blend
Cubescene_v01.blend
Open the "Cubescene_v01.blend"
It's a scene with a simple cube linked in
Select the cube in the Outliner and go to the Object panel
Shift click the chain icon -> Nothing happens
Right click the cube in the Outliner and use “Library Overrides > Make > Selected”
At first only the icon in the Outliner refreshes to the chain with an arrow
If you hover with your mouse of the Properties panel it also refreshes and shows the chain / arrow icon
The override is working like expected

@mont29 is this something for you? I also noticed that the tool tips on the new override right click menus are a bit wonky (Pablo also mentioned this in the latest "Blender.Today" show ;) ).

It should be noted that this prints:

template_id_liboverride_hierarchy_create: The data-block OBCube could not be overridden

So it executes as expected, just doesn't work.
