Right.

I also see now that bug #23288 had a solution, but it does not work for
me in this case.  It depends on mouse-on-link-p to return a string or a
vector, but what I get at this point is just t.  Inside mouse-on-link-p
the first branch of the cond is taken, because the follow-link property
is 'mouse-face.

This whole translation business seems fishy to me.

There is no check that the cursor or at least the window are still the
same when the mouse-2 handler is eventually called (it isn't here, I
believe).

There is no check that mouse-2 is actually bound to anything meaningfull
that we want in addition to the mouse-1 handler.  And what is the formal
definition of 'meaningfull' here?

And why is there a need to fall back to a mouse-2 handler when there is
an explicit handler for mouse-1 already, widget-button-click in this
case?  Let the mouse-1 handler do what it wants to have done.
