I think this feature would rarely be needed and it seems a bit unintuitive as
the fringe isn't part of the text area.  A different possibility is to bind
mouse-1 to toggle-truncate-lines when a truncation/continuation fringe
indicator is present.

I imagine in this case it would work even if the cursor wasn't in the
margin.
