I guess I don't quite understand what sort of interaction you are trying
to achieve.

If you are talking about selecting an item with the mouse and then still
being able to scroll, then it doesn't seem to make much sense.  After
all, if you want to scroll, why not just avoid clicking and scroll
instead?
