Glad to see that some work is being done on this issue. I'll add an explanation
of why I want/need this to be an option.

I have tendon problems in my hand which make it very uncomfortable to use
normal mice and so use a tablet as my only input device for mouse usage. In
order to get all of the possible click inputs (left click, middle click, right
click, and pen input [not all apps treat pen input the same as a left click]),
I use foot pedals to send left, middle, and right click inputs. Using the
buttons on the side of the pen is a non-starter, as I find them uncomfortable
to use and there isn't enough of them. There is also the issue that when
clicking using the pen or the side buttons, it can be difficult to click fast
enough to get applications not to treat it as a hold input. It's also nice to
be able to freely float my hand above the tablet while holding middle click to
pan in 3D software, for example. Making sure that the mouse clicks and holds
map directly to the tablet's cursor input at all times is necessary for how I
use a computer.

I find using this combination of foot pedal + drawing tablet the only way to do
mouse input without discomfort and hand pain.
