Just put that field's script into a button and you'll be set.

At this time buttons are the only controls that can be used to hold a 
behavior's script.

Note that the type of control holding the script is purely arbitrary; 
the script itself is what matters, and will work with any control type.

RunRev just chose the button control because it has the most flexible 
internal architecture and made it possible for them to use it for this 
easily.
