Feature Request/Discussion: Trigger Talon Action on Hover of Screen Spot

With Talon, there are some instances in which voice commands can't be issued, but we may still want to have some sort of hands free input. ( voice calls, those with TMJ, etc)
For those that use eyetrackers, it could potentially be very useful to have certain parts of the screen act like a macro system. For instance, if someone looks at the Talon icon in the system tray for four seconds, one could automatically trigger speech.toggle() and toggle talon without needing to either press a button or issue voice command.

Before I was aware of your repository I implemented most of this myself by forking the code used for Andreas's mode indicator ( now in the community repository)
https://github.com/C-Loftus/colton_talon/blob/master/stare/hotspot.py
Essentially all I did was maintain a mapping of spots to talon functions and the time the mouse has been hovered on them. I imagine a good amount of this code could probably be copied directly.

Considering your code is more used and there is precedent for a certain screen spot API, I'm wondering if this is worth including into your repository. (With some modifications to fit your code style obviously)
I realize that this might be burdensome to implement and perhaps not frequently used, so there's no worries either way, but I just wanted to bring it up in case it might be of interest.
