Modifier key to change the action of the side scroll wheel on Logitech MX Master 3 mouse

Question

In macOS I currently have my Logitech MX Master 3 mouse set to "switch between desktops" when I roll the side scroll wheel. (I did this using the included Logi Options software). This is the way I like it, but I would like to be able to add additional functionality.
Is there a way to change the behavior of the side scroll wheel when I press a modifier key? For example, I would really like for the wheel to do horizontal scrolling when I hold the control key while side-scrolling.
Any tips/software recommendations would be much appreciated!

Just install the logitech options, the software allows you to configure you mouse as you like.
You can use the function of switch between desktops along with that you can setup custom settings for all the applications.

Keep on wishing.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the MXs are a nightmare because they hide the actual keycodes sent. I regret ever buying one. Standard 3rd party mouse control replacements, Steermouse, USB Overdrive etc cannot handle the extra scrollwheel or the gesture button. You can't even run Logitech's CP and one of the replacers, because they fight. You can run one of the replacers instead of the Logi, but you actually lose overall functionality.
You're stuck with whatever Logitech give you.
