I'm trying to build a browser as part of a larger project I'm working on, and I'm having trouble replicating some standard modern browser functionality, and some less-standard functionality. Specifically, I am trying to do the following four things:

1) When I middle-click on a page that has scrolling enabled, it shows the drag-scrolling widget. I want to turn this feature off, but there doesn't appear to be any way to get or change the state of the drag-scrolling feature in the Browser class. This is the most critical one. If I can do this, the others I can deal with.

2) I would like to be able to get a list of all linked pages (all hrefs, at least) and maybe all linked objects. If I need to, I can just pull the html from getText() when the ProgressListener fires the completed event, but I thought I'd ask if this is built-in before I build an HTML parser.

3) I actually got the browser to open a new tab when you middle-click on a link, like other browsers do, but there's a feature that is found in certain addons that allows opening multiple links at once using a drag (Linkclump for Chrome, Snap Links for Firefox). Since so little of the Browser is exposed, I doubt that there's any reasonable way to get the collection of links within an area, but maybe there's a way to do it using BrowserFunction?

4) Is there a way that I can turn mouse wheel scrolling on and off?

Thanks in advance.

Full code (yes I need to clean it up because that one method is a monster, my apologies):
