I wonder if this could be copied from how plan9port behaves on macOS for instance. Using a single tap and then toggling/chording using alt and command keys. Maybe on a multi-touch input the distance of the 2nd and 3rd finger could help to identify which modifier/button it translates to.

I don't think the touchscreen technology has figured out how to distinguish between fingers yet. The rio environment would need to identify if you were using finger 1, 2 or 3 to tap on something so it would know if it was to move or resize the window, which context menu to open, etc...
