How about make middle clicking on a toolbar button to execute its right click script? This would be a more convenient way to run the secondary script of a toolbar button. So we don't have to manually go through the right click menu to execute it.

That's not going to work.

a) If it's right-click that actions a menu with a script then it should be a right-click that is responsible.
b) If one has multiple commands then middle-click won't be any more effective than right-click.

but it would be useful to have a quick click execution for at least 1 alternate script--in which i suggest the middle mouse click. if there is multiple alternates, then perhaps make it execute just the first alternate.

BTW: originally, i thought right click was a quick click execution, until i learned it was just a menu. the "on right-click" labeling is misleading because i expect it to behave similar to "on click".

But considering that both left and right clicks can have menus with multiple scripts, how

Right-clicks have never been instantaneous actions, their standard interaction is to display a context menu.

This may not be ideal as a user may have his/her scripts arranged in a particular order (alphabetical, numerical, etc) so executing the top-most is not always desirable.

then perhaps make a third script field option called "on middle click".
