Do all mouse [mice ;)] have a middle-click button.
AFAIK , not all have them.
Few have a hidden middle-click using the scroll-wheel press as a
middle-click. [not everyone uses this though]
What about laptops having touchpads, they dont have middle-clicks? [Some
users do configure the middle-clicks by using a two-finger tap or
whatever]

Seems like a restriction when we base actions on middle-clicks.
Preferably we should avoid the middle-clicks for such features.
