Not sure how would be possible to handle double-clicks in this case:

  C-x 5 5                 ;; other-frame-prefix
  <down-mouse-1>          ;; mouse-drag-region
  <mouse-1>               ;; mouse-set-point
  <double-down-mouse-1>   ;; mouse-drag-region
  <double-mouse-1>        ;; mouse-set-point

`describe-key` uses

  (and (not (memq mouse-1-click-follows-link '(nil double)))
       (> (length raw) 0)
       (eq (car-safe (aref raw 0)) 'mouse-1)

But I'm afraid that not exiting on <mouse-1> in
`display-buffer-override-next-command` would be too error-prone.
