   about toggling the blinking cursor with a  mouse-3 click on the cursor?

The idea of adding "Blinking Cursor" to the Menu Bar was to aid
beginning users to whom the menu bar would be part of their first
introduction to Emacs.  They would have to be able to disable the
blinking before being able to, say, comfortably read the detailed
documentation in the tutorial or Info.  mouse-3 would not help them,
because they would need to read the docs before finding out about it.

Moreover, mouse-3 is already taken for other purposes.

Sincerely,

Luc.
