Is there a way I can use my Mouse for 'Manage Extension Shortcuts' instead of using my Keyboard?

Within the Add-on Manager by clicking Manage Extension Shortcuts - you can make shortcuts for add-ons to perform specific functions via the buttons on your keyboard, but I want to actually be able to use the buttons on my actual mouse rather than the keyboard.

Does anybody know if this is possible? Currently when I try to use my mouse to input a 'shortcut' in the 'Type a shortcut' box nothing works.

Are there any about:config settings or add-ons that can enable me to use my Mouse to make shortcuts for my add-ons?

You can remap mouse buttons to keyboard shortcuts with software like AutoHotkey.

That's not what I'm looking for. It's the other way around.

I want a keyboard shortcut that I have for the 'Rotate Youtube Video' add-on within Add-on Manager > Manage Extension Shortcuts to be converted into a mouse shortcut. So I want the "alt" & "x" keyboard shortcut that I have programmed for the 'zoom in' function on the 'Rotate Youtube Video' add-on to be mapped using any one of my actual mouse buttons. Is that possible with AutoHotKey?
