Depends on what you intend to use it for.  For instance in Dolphin you
can drop files on an entry in the breadcrumb bar to move or copy a
file to that directory.  A breadcrumb bar in a file manager plasmoid
could use it for a similar purpose.  If there is any case where you
need to move things around within the tree structure you are using the
breadcrumb bar to navigate then this will be very helpful.

Depends on what it is being used for.  For instance in dolphin it open
the folder in a new tab.  If there are either tabs in the plasmoid or
the nodes of the breadcrumb tree can be opened in an external
application, then middle click would be helpful for those purposes.
It could also be used to trigger a popup, for instance showing a
preview of the contents of that node without moving to it.

> - scroll wheel on a breadcrumb means..?

Scrolling on an entry would move up or down in the entries list at that level.

So for example if you have a tree structure like this:

a - a1 - a11
  - a2 - a21
 - a3 - a31

And you are currently seeing:

a - a2 - a21

Scrolling down on a2 would take you to:

a - a3

This is how it works in Dolphin, at least.

It allows you to easily move through adjacent folders at the same
level without needing to open the list.  It is very useful if you want
to do something in adjacent folder sequentially.
