Is there any way to do a "long click" with synaptics?

[Jarrad W.]

Hi,

Just playing around with some software that requires the input of a 
"long press" (i.e. holding the mouse button down for a second, then 
releasing) as distinct from a normal short click, and it seems that 
synaptics, at least in the tap-to-click paradigm, offers no way to 
emulate this. Am I mistaken, or is this a shortcoming of the driver?

Thanks,
