Is it possible to control-drag in Xcode with a trackpad and tap-to-click?

Question

The interface builder in Xcode uses control-drag as a general gesture for wiring up outlets and object connections. But as a tap-to-click user, I'd prefer to avoid having to activate the physical trackpad switch. Has anyone figured out a way to make this work?

My normal drag gesture is three-finger-drag, but control-three-finger-drag doesn't activate the control-drag features in Xcode. Nor have I been able to make it work by experimenting with other combos in Xcode.

The control-drag gesture does work just fine if you use the physical switch.

My trackpad configuration is simple: every checkbox in the Trackpad preferences is checked.

check out this app

one of the screen shots shows you can 'ctrl left click', which you can apply to a '3 finger tap' for example. It should be as simple as 3 finger tapping, holding, and dragging to make a connection.

Hope that works!
