Dolphin - can you middle click in the window area? Not that I'm aware - it
doesn't do anything.

Task manager - not even sure what that is.

Firefox - not a KDE application.  What non-KDE applications do should be of
less interest than what KDE applications do.  Not no interest, but less
interest.  (Also, Firefox doesn't allow a middle click inside the window to
paste the URL to that window, so it doesn't have any other behaviour for middle
click to emulate, much like Dolphin.)

All window area - no, the original request came in for clicking on a tab *that
is _NOT_ at the foreground*.  So I have three tabs, I'm looking at the console
for tab 1, I swipe some text, and want to paste it to tab 2.

Konqueror: I'm looking at tab 1, swipe some text, and want to set tab 2 to that
URL.

Both of those cases, I can middle click on the tab I want to affect, and have
the same effect as if I had left-clicked on the tab first and then
middle-clicked into the window.  Or, I could if this request were fulfilled for
Konsole. I can already do that for Konqueror.  And I'd argue that it's much
more useful for Konsole than Konqueror.
