Is it possible to add an (global) option that causes a “Quick Tool” to swap back immediately when the button is released?

Currently, it swaps back when the mouse button is released.

This is useful too, but I think a force swap back would be very practical in certain cases.  
Edit: i know it should limited to a few tools because ie selection doesn´t work this way.
