Isn’t middle click a user defined function? Is it system defined? I’ve not worked on a system with a middle mouse button in many years.

I haven't owned a mouse without the ability to middle click ever (my first mouse had a ball and 3 buttons; I think a Logitech c7?).

If your mouse has a scroll-wheel, then it's probably clickable as a middle-click. If you have a trackpad without a 3rd button then there is usually a gesture that will send a middle click.
