Only issue with this is it has to be parsed accordingly. For example pressing mouse 5 on selection can output

100x100 100,100 5 and then it is up to the parser such as a script to remove the mouse identifier and then do actions with it and the remaining geometry.

A CLI switch will do, then it doesn't need to be a breaking change. An abstract minor downside is that the theoretical scripts would then possibly be incompatible out of the box with other scripts.

Which is why it'd need to be specified via a flag.
