Equivalent of a field's "on linkclicked" message in a browser widget?

[J. Landman Gay]

I guess it hasn't been fixed yet, or else we don't understand how to use 
it. When I was trying it, breakpoints didn't even trigger so I assumed the 
messages weren't being sent. Did you put the handlers in the widget script? 
When I tested we didn't have widgets yet.

If that doesn't work I'm not sure what will. Maybe you'd need some javascript?
