Nope, the only action that's tracked on "enter-only" is "pointer-in".

I think you should create your own enter-only focus mode to add the
click action other than pointer-in, as I can't find a suitable hook
for mouse buttons clicks.

Anyway, without looking at the code, I didn't expected that "click to
focus" was the more complex of the three...
