Yes, I think if it works for xterm-mouse-mode, it should be possible to make
it work with t-mouse-mode.

I see xt-mouse.el has:

  ;; Cheat `mouse-drag-region' with move event.
  (list 'mouse-movement click-data)
  ;; Generate a drag event.
  (if (symbolp down-where)
  ...

but I don't know why  mouse-1-click-follows-link uses mouse-drag-region as
the down and click events are generally at the same place.
