We could certainly have it in double click mode, but in single click
mode it is not really possible. In spatial mode the middle click is a
very important feature that makes nautilus much more efficient if you
use it. I guess its not so important in the browser mode, so its
slightly suboptimal for single-click browser users, but I don't want to
make that case radically different than the other modes.
