Hello,

Is it possible to capture mouse/scroll events on the echo area?

For the mode-line, something like the following works:

    (global-set-key (kbd "<mode-line> <mouse-4>") #'b/exwm-ws-prev)
    (global-set-key (kbd "<mode-line> <mouse-5>") #'b/exwm-ws-next)

Which allows me to switch to my previous and next EXWM workspace.
I'd like to do the same for the echo area, but  I'm not quite sure if
it's possible as of now.
