But you could have the same effect by rebinding mouse-2 to another
function.  We just need to add such a function, which should work like
dired-mouse-find-file-other-window, but visit the file in the same
window.  That sounds like a better alternative for this use case,
because customizing a function-valued variable is trickier for users
than rebinding keys.
