For Action Mode add a button to lock to the target you are aiming to

That is a problem that I see some people that are playing using Action mode complaining about and I think it would help to have more players using Action Mode.
When playing in Action Mode we dont have a way to set the target that we are aiming, we do have this option in Guild Wars 2 and TL, in example, when pressing right click, the right click will focus the target that you are looking to, the target that is in the center of your crosshair.

When there is 3 or more enemies it get really hard to use Action Mode. Sometimes the "Soft lock" doesnt pick the right target and if we try to get the other one using the "Tab" button it sometimes can get random enemies and if are in a POI and you shouldnt be aggroing many mobs it can be your nightmare.

For now I dont think Soft lock is working really well because it usually doesnt change targets when you start hitting one. To fix that (at least for now) this idea of a button to lock to the target that you are aiming would make our lives, the ones that play in Acton mode, 100% better.
It would be an awesome QoL improvement.

By the way I know right click is the Block so it could be another button.

Edit: I tested Q and It does nothing.My suggestion is making the same as Tab. Tab does Lock the target that you are aiming but the problem is that if you press Tab again it will change to a random target instead of locking into the same one, the problem is that sometimes 2 targets are really close to each other so we need to press Tab again and if the Tab doesnt pick the right target it will keep changing to random targets.

    Check the settings this coming weekend, I believe there is a function for target locking already in addition to the soft lock system.

    Do you know if this is to lock to the target that is shown as the soft lock or is it to lock to the target that your aim is in?

    Because my problem was that sometimes soft lock wasnt changing targets after you started hitting an enemy
    I just would like a way to Lock to the target the is in the center of my Aim, just like we have in the others "Hybrid" games like GW2 and TL which they have the right click button to lock to the target.

    I believe Q does that.

    I believe Q does that.

    I tested it in here and Q did nothing. What I mean is 'Tab' button lock your target that you are aiming, but if you press Tab again it will switch to a random target instead of always locking in the enemy that you are aiming.
