I'd prefer that too, it would be more in line with how the rest of
Customize (custom is a place where you are forced to declare your
stuff).  It would probably make more sense to use the read-kbd-macro
format though, as that is what the code use internally, and that is
what it saves to to .emacs.  I.e.

   (defkeymap my-mode-map
       '(("<mouse-1>" foo)
        (("<mouse-2> f e C-m". open-file))
     "Keymap for My mode."
     :group 'foo
     :inherit his-mode-map)
