In the current event dispatching scheme one click event is always generated even it is double or triple click in fact. However, there are many cases when you want different actions to be done one click vs. double click. See also RT-19346 which also increases the problem.

This feature needs to be implemented on event-dispatching level as all the necessary information available here. If there is no consequent mouse press within the necessary timeout there wouldn't be consequent mouse click.
