Yes.  And the only way to do it right is to completely re-implement it.
E.g. redo it the way delete-selection-mode does.

PS: I once again recommend we throw away mouse-region-delete-keys.
It's been a source of several very difficult problems to track down and
often not even fixed because the implementation is too different from the
normal way commnds are run.  Those people who want this kind of behavior
will probably prefer delete-selection-mode anyway.
