Chromium does this on Linux (at least I assume a three finger trackpad tap is middle click). IIRC, Qt apps show a menu with a "scroll to here" option.

Gtk supports it, at least via Mate it does. The Qt menu convention is copied from Windows, which I think is silly. SGI got it right.

I was wrong about Qt: middle (three-finger) click also does go right to where you click. Right click brings up the (Windows-like) menu.
