I'm not against reusing an existing option, I just can't
connect the dots between the logic of mouse-yank-at-point
and yanking from anywhere in the buffer.  But if OP would confirm
that customizing mouse-yank-at-point is indeed what is expected
then maybe this would be fine to be able to close this request?
Otherwise, a new user option or even a new command would be fine.
