Right press and hold, menu comes up (keep holding); move to "Open" and release. One down, hold and move, and back up again. Of course, holding may be as bad as clicking, in which case that won't help. > Moreover CDE desktop supports(!) 1 click to restore a minimized application > because it can be configured > to select the minimized icon on mouse-over.

I never even imagined such a thing; probably the dtfile developers, or even the Motif developers, may not have either. Of course, the X server doesn't care; i.e. _massive_ rewrites starting from at least the Motif level on up might make that possible (or for all I know, there are some imaginative tricks that might let mere application level rewrites do the job), but there's not likely to be any way to configure that. There are mice that are made to be easier, even easier for clicking as well as holding or moving. Some trackballs are easier. And some touchpads can be set to use a light tap rather than a click. But fancy touchpads usually need drivers (the options are implemented in software, although the hardware has to report more than a basic mouse-replacement touchpad would), probably only available on Windows or (for Apple hardware) built-in to macOS. Linux and xfree86 may have better support for that than historical commercial Unixes. To work with an old toolkit, it would have to happen below that level, e.g. at the OS or X server level. But there are better mice that don't need special drivers; some of those listed on the link below may be among them: https://www.grayingwithgrace.com/what-is-the-best-computer-mouse-for-arthritic-hands/ <https://www.grayingwithgrace.com/what-is-the-best-computer-mouse-for-arthritic-hands/> They do tend to be quite expensive (over US$100); make sure you can return them if they don't help.
