That's too vague for me to see how to proceed. I suggest you create a new (wishlist) bug report describing in detail the new functionality which you would like to see in xterm.

hmm - I hadn't noticed, but a check shows that gnome-terminal does appear to distinguish between the highlighting and the selection: it clears the highlighting when clicking in the window, but a paste from primary does work.That's doable - I'll have to think about what's involved in making it work.
