Now it is implemented in iTerm2 and can be activated by Settings -> Advanced -> Scroll wheel sends arrow keys when in alternate screen mode and change it to Yes (defaults write com.googlecode.iterm2 AlternateMouseScroll -bool true still works but it just changes the same setting)
Follow the directions in this superuser answer which describes using the iTerm custom key bindings to map ⌥ + ⇧ + ← to select by word. Its smart to make new key mappings in a profile to test it out, rather than the main keys preference. Suggested keybindings iTerm: Preferences > Profiles > Keys Click … Read more
