There already is (though I agree it's not well documented).
The scrollbar behavior is controlled by a translations resource.
Reading the Xaw source-code, I see this (not much better in the Xaw spec):

static char defaultTranslations[] =
"<Btn5Down>:"   "StartScroll(Forward)\n"
"<Btn1Down>:"   "StartScroll(Forward)\n"
"<Btn2Down>:"   "StartScroll(Continuous) MoveThumb() NotifyThumb()\n"
"<Btn3Down>:"   "StartScroll(Backward)\n"
"<Btn4Down>:"   "StartScroll(Backward)\n"
"<Btn2Motion>:" "MoveThumb() NotifyThumb()\n"
"<BtnUp>:"      "NotifyScroll(Proportional) EndScroll()\n";

which gives some hints.
