    However, when yanking with a click, material is yanked right at point
    rather than at the start of line.

    That is a nuisance.  So I think it would be nice to store the
    "granularity" of a mouse click/mark away and use it to move to begin
    of word/line before yanking.

I think that would be a bug.  You can change this yourself, but I don't
think we should change Emacs' normal behavior.
