This should not be implemented on the terminal side, as this is not the task of the terminal, it is the task of the application. Mouse interaction should be implemented on the application side. The only place where applications intersect with the terminal in this sense is when applications use the so-called Cooked Mode of the Windows Console API. Since we are completely implementing the functionality of Windows Console Server on our side, we can add full mouse support there. This will affect cmd.exe and any programs using ENABLE_LINE_INPUT + ReadConsole() from the Win32 API.
