Then how about middle click activating a "default action" of an indicator?
Perhaps have one of the actions that are present in the menu be specified by the
application as the default, then the indicator applet unifies this into one
manner of interaction with the indicators to trigger these default actions.

I think this would lead to the same kind of standardization that the application
indicators is supposed to bring, without cutting back too much on
functionality -- a good compromise.
