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?

Used the Logi Options+ Software to map a button on my mouse to the keyboard short.

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?
