Yet another option.
You can use my iconGrid widget for that. Use a 1x1 grid
with your SVG icon as property.

It informs you whether the used SVG icon itself or the
enlarged transparent region was clicked (look at its script).
Also the placement of the SVG icon within the enlarged
widget can be set.
