AFAIK, you would have to edit /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu, 
part of garcon, which is Xfce's freedesktop.org specification compatible 
menu implementation library.

There's a gnome menu editor called alacarte for this, but I have never 
tried this before, as I don't want to install all that gnome stuff.

There's no setting I know of. You can hold <Shift> and left-click, as 
this works. Otherwise: Not without patching the source code; If you want 
to do that, look at 
http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/tree/src/xfce-desktop.c, function 
xfce_desktop_button_press_event around line 850.

I hope this helps,
Harald
