Back and forward button emulation with three button mouse

I would like to emulate back and forward buttons with a 3 button mouse. The idea is to click and hold the right button and click the left button to fire a "back button" event, similarly left hold and right click to forward.

Browser extensions exist that do this, but I want something more universal across applications. Is anyone aware of something like this? Some gnome/xorg/wayland/libinput hackery or some clever tool that runs in the background.  I only found the browser addons in Google.
