xterm's control sequences document is the place to look:

            Ps = 1 0 0 0  -> Send Mouse X & Y on button press and
          release.  See the section Mouse Tracking.  This is the X11
          xterm mouse protocol.
            Ps = 1 0 0 1  -> Use Hilite Mouse Tracking, xterm.
            Ps = 1 0 0 2  -> Use Cell Motion Mouse Tracking, xterm.
            Ps = 1 0 0 3  -> Use All Motion Mouse Tracking, xterm.
            Ps = 1 0 0 4  -> Send FocusIn/FocusOut events, xterm.
            Ps = 1 0 0 5  -> Enable UTF-8 Mouse Mode, xterm.
            Ps = 1 0 0 6  -> Enable SGR Mouse Mode, xterm.

If you don't see a 1006 mode (such as ESC[?1006;100h) then yes, you're
limited to 223.
