[Solved] Middle click on panel in Cinnamon? (self.linuxmint)

Is there a way to change the behavior of a middle click on an application in the panel away from Close and instead to New Window/Instance? I keep trying to say open a new Firefox window and instead close my existing window.

yes

right click on any of the apps -> expand "applet preferences" -> "configure..." -> in the window that opens, change the middle click action

tested on 21.2, hope this helps
