We're talking about a mouse-1 click on a piece of text. Not on a button,
although the text is generally somehow marked to look special, occasionally
button-like.

I've never had a problem on recent PCs where the wheel acts as mouse-2.
Some people report problems clicking on the wheel, but the only problem I've
ever had is that occasionally I turn the wheel as I click it, which makes
the click inoperative. But it's never been a problem.
