Is it possible to have WII 'like' point and click mouse control?
100% artificial, people use non lighthouse headsets (Quest 2, WMR) with Knuckles all the time, you could definitely just get something like this to emulate a HMD. If you placed a Desktop+ window at the right location you could probably do what OP wants without a headset.

Is it possible to have WII 'like' point and click mouse control?
Someone's made a similar system, DorsalVR for the purposes of using VR controllers as a Wiimote for a Wii emulator (Dolphin), so it's definitely doable - but I don't know of any software for desktop use, yet.

Will somebody smarter than me take on Dolphin VR now that OpenXR is a thing?
Other options could be reaching out to the dev of Dorsal, which is an OpenXR project that only works with Dolphin at the moment. https://github.com/MichaelJW/DorsalVR

Metroid Prime Trilogy VR
I'm working with the author of DorsalVR ( /u/Not0K ) to support a VR-like experience for all games. DorsalVR uses OpenXR via Unity to get information from the HMD. At least the hope is that DorsalVR will use the HMD to tell Dolphin how to change the scene view with Free Look (using a UDP specification). The scene will be mirrored / stretched to the HMD field of view so you'll get the stereo 3d and moving your head with the HMD will move in the game world. You can increase the FOV of the game (using Free Look) to make the scene not feel so stretched, though any 2d HUD elements will need to be corrected (I'm working on that).

Oculus Touch Support
As for oculus controllers, there's not really anything in Dolphin to directly support that. It looks like the DorsalVR author is looking to support that. So you might wait for that.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing driver_hmd and DorsalVR you can also consider the following projects:
vive_mouse - Vive controller as a mouse pointer, v0.3
dolphin - Dolphin is a GameCube / Wii emulator, allowing you to play games for these two platforms on PC with improvements.
opentrack - Head tracking software for MS Windows, Linux, and Apple OSX
