How can I map the ctrl click functionality in Eclipse to a middle mouse click?

Question

I want to switch the ctrl click functionality in Eclipse to be triggered by a middle mouse click. I saw a question here about how to disable the ctrl click functionality; I want to preserve it but give it a different or additional hot key.

Eclipse apparently can not bind commands to mouse buttons.

You could work around that limitation by using a separate program that allows you to define application specific actions for your mouse buttons, eg. X-Mouse Button Control, Logitech SetPoint (both via SO: Eclipse Back/Forward navigation using mouse buttons), or similar applications.

Or you switch to an IDE that allows mapping mouse buttons (and much more).
