I'd suggest avoiding the combination of a keystroke and a mouse-button
click, which seems to me, personally, to be an abomination.  I expect
the keyboard and mouse to operate independently, and this kind of
unholy union seems like the road to emacs-ville: `okay, now type
control-meta-shift-coke-bottle-F12-button-2-eject-the-CD-drive-
dim-your-monitor'.

Why not buy one of those mice with the five buttons and two wheels and
assign button 4 as `open directly in acme, bypassing plumbing' or
something?
