Now, in mouse modifiers, assign this Custom Action to context media item > left click >default action.

Sorry for being lazy not testing this myself but i think it should work
This doesn't work. It doesn't restore the selected items.

It also doesn't save the current take selection on a track if there's any.

Here is the custom action set to Media Item Bottom Half with ctrl:



And here is it in action:



There is a flash that licecap doesn't pick up when it appears that SWS is trying to save/restore the items.

However!

Kenny to the rescue, nearly.

That almost appears to be the workaround that I need. It seems that you have to turn snapping on/off to set the cursor position ignoring snap. I don't see a way to make a custom action to avoid this yet.

This OP still appears to be a bug though.
