System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.22621-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.6.0 NVIDIA 517.48

Blender Version
Broken: version: 4.0.0 Alpha, branch: main, commit date: 2023-08-11 21:47, hash: cf5666345d20

Short description of error
In the outliner, If you expand an object's Animation tree, then expand the NLA Tracks tree, it will expose its NLA tracks. If you try to double click one of these tracks to rename it, it doesn't work, and the logged warning states that you 'Cannot edit external library data'. The NLA track in question is not externally linked data.
Actions are renamable from the outliner, so I'd think NLA tracks should be too.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Download attached blend file.
In the outliner, expand the data tree of Cube to access the NLA track.
Double click circled item to try to rename.

Can confirm. It prompted "Can not edit external library data" upon renaming which it really isn't.

Also note that the Outliner may or may not include Strips (depending on whether you are in Data API view or not). If it doesnt, it places the Actions right below the Tracks (which is a bit awkward I think)
