I thought about this proposal for a while, but I tend to the
fact that such functionality belongs to a dwm.c patch (esp.
because the mouse-based tagging is intended to be as is).
A hook interface to mouse events for the status bar seems a
little bit overengineered to me.

You could even separate the handling if you write a
buttonpress(XEvent *) replacement.
