Middle click can be configured for touchpads as 2 or 3 fingers tap or as 
simultaneous press on both hardware buttons (if they exist), see the 
libinput(4) man page and
https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/
Desktop environment may provide GUI for configuration.

Perhaps older synaptics driver allowed to treat tap in some corner as 
mouse button click.

In its early days wayland did not have primary selection, just 
clipboard. Some users and developers hate paste on middle click 
considering it insecure. Perhaps there are still wayland implementations 
supporting only clipboard.

In xterm you may configure shortcuts for both primary selection and 
clipboard copy and paste. Search for copy-selection and insert-selection 
in xterm(1). It was discussed in the following thread:
