hrvoje, it looks like you're the maintainer of wid-edit.
Uh, not any more, sorry. I used to do a lot of work on it and was
actively maintaining it for a time, but I moved on. That code has
also been touched by Jan, I believe.

using mouse-track hooks.
I guess you're right. I think it was simpler to use modal loops to
get the highlighting effects I wanted, but perhaps it would be worth
to convert it to use mouse-track's loop.
But there's one thing that bugs me with mouse-track: it's completely
separate from normal XEmacs mechanisms of handling the input commands.
For example, the other day I was annoyed that i could not press RET on
a Help hyperlink. I tried doing `C-h c <button2 on hyperlink>', but
all I got was mouse-track. That's suboptimal IMHO.
