PAGER FEATURE WISH/QUESTION

I use the pager control a lot.
The AutoScroll feature is quite handy.
For this, the mouse must hover over the pager button.
Very ok so far.

It would be even more comfy if I could use the mouse wheel in addition to the buttons.
While being somewhere in the pager area.
And not over a control which makes use of the wheel message.

Is this possible at all?
