You can't, build your own cross hair.

In this case, is there a way to intercept the mouse middle button press and/or ctrl+f to use my own cursor?

you can't.  you can only capture single keystrokes e.g. "F" using CHARTEVENT_KEYDOWN.  Here is an example used in OnChartEvent function.

if(id==CHARTEVENT_KEYDOWN && lparam==(StringGetChar("F",0)))

I wonder how's that done, it seems to use the original crosshair, and it can be triggered using Ctrl+F:

It's just detecting mouse movement/click. Besides it "works" even without enabling the crosshair, try a double-click and you will see.
