Sure!

Please have the code written up and bug-tested by this weekend. :)
On a more serious note: Mouse-clicks already have a defined meaning
within xterm: They are used for cutting, selecting, and pasting text!
So how is your xterm supposed to know when you're clicking in order to
select some text, or clicking in order to pass the information to the
inner program, Mutt, so that it can search for a URL to go to?
In the old, old days of Mutt, it supported mouse-clicks, not for URL's,
but for simple message navigation. Most everyone hated it. It was
removed. Basically, people realized that they wanted the cut-n-paste
functionality a lot more than they wanted the point-n-click functionality.
