Something based on the transient keymap paradigm.  Whether that will be
a macro or some rule to suitably set/restore `track-mouse' around a call
of `set-transient-map'.  But I only draw conclusion from arguments
against using `read-event' (maybe in the context of mouse tracking only)
which I yet don't fully understand.  And I also don't understand whether
an unprotected (re-)setting of `track-mouse' is safe wrt redisplay but
maybe you can clarify that.
