According to xterm-215/ctlseqs.txt, xterm can send press events
for mouse buttons 1-5 and release events for buttons 1-3.  Xterm
does not define escape sequences for other mouse buttons and it
is not obvious how they should be defined.  I think the easiest
solution would be to configure xterm to make the mouse buttons
send the same escape sequences as some function keys (e.g. ESC [
25 ~ for what ELinks thinks is Shift+F3) and then map those
function keys to the appropriate actions within ELinks.

(which sets a *VT100.Translations resource to remap the mouse buttons)
was already mentioned to you but you wrote it doesn't work for buttons
6 and 7.  This appears to be limitation in libxt-1.0.0/src/TMparse.c,
which supports only five mouse buttons.  I don't know how difficult
that would be to fix.  You may be able to work around the limit
by renumbering the buttons with xmodmap.
