Support hovercasting while in mouselook

I've been looking everywhere for this functionality and can't seem to find it, so it may just not be possible...

I'm using Clique for spellcasting with hovercast, and a weakaura that adds basically a target circle, and I want to also use this addon to lock the camera to my mouse so the game plays more like a 3rd person shooter. Problem is, the cursor disappears when mouselook mode is on (still have my weakaura), and hovering over units doesn't "select" them as a target for hovercasting.

I basically want to not have to target things via clicking or tabbing, so I can rely exclusively on "aiming" like you would in a 3rd person rpg.

This comes up occasionally (e.g. here) and I also thought about it before. I'm quite certain it isn't possible with an interface addon. In theory you could probably create keyboard macros that simulate multiple keypresses a few milliseconds apart, and use those to first disengage mouselook and then run a [@mouseover] macro. Perhaps doing so could be considered a ToS violation, though.

I briefly attempted this but I'm not overly familiar with wow's interface api, or lua, but I found that hovercasting as a means of dedicated healing (in the 3d world) isn't really practical, at least not for me, and at least not without other addons to make targeting with your hovercast easier
