What do you think about the idea of handling the select-window event
the same as we handle the select-frame event during the key sequence?
For example, type C-x, then cause the select-frame event by a suitable
mouse gesture (here I have focus follow mouse, so just moving the
mouse to another frame causes that), then type C-x again.  This
produces "C-x C-x" which works on the buffer shown in the selected
window of the frame to which I moved the mouse.

Can we do something similar with mouse-autoselect-window?
