Pretty unlikely I will add an option specifically for that (I won’t  
rule out that it will be possible via mouse gestures in the future  
though) -- but if you know a bit of Cocoa, you can do this either as  
a plug-in or as a system-wide input manager, which adds the behavior  
to all your applications. That seems like a better solution.
