The previous approach used mousedown + wheel-time guard, but pressing the wheel button physically also triggers a wheel event on most mice, which blocked the click entirely.
auxclick only fires on a complete press+release of a non-primary button and NEVER fires from scrolling — this is exactly what we need.
