No - the current PDB API + some extras in the Python bindings cannot "see"
what the user
is doing with any tool. Nor is anything related to the undo history exposed
for plug-ins.
Your described work around sounds like the only thing possible.
You might want to try "pyautogui" module to check for mouse-click/movements
timing, as it might be more performant than checking for differences in the
image.
