Do we want that, or is the intent to highlight only the file name and the line number? FWIW, in my own copy of Emacs, I put mouse-face on the whole line, so it is easier to 1) click and 2) highlight - you can move up and down the buffer with no attention to horizontal position. I do the same thing for Dired. This is particularly helpful for seeing what aligns (belongs) with what (e.g. in Dired). It's kind of like using a ruler to scan entries in a phone book.
