I like this implementation. The problem is that the specific item being targeted moves. This is a specific solution. Stopping that specific animation feels like a reasonable interface fix.

For when you're trying to target a rat and it keeps moving. Once you target it, maybe it should try to wait for you? And realistically, once you decide to talk to someone, then they should feel comfortable approaching you as well -- instead of it all being one-sided.
Oh. Correct. My solution is for combat mainly, but agree that it could be applied for non combat too.

Althou there might be another issues. Lets imagine a guard patrolling, they are there for moving cone of view. So you can slip in in case of sneaking high enough. But, you could just abuse mouse over them to disable patrol? These nitpicks should be polished.
