You're looking at a couple of different, but related, things. The
clicked() event means "the button was activated", which might have
been caused by a mouse event, or possibly a keyboard or other
activation.

What you want is to react to other forms of mouse event. For that, you
should be able to hook the generic widget handling...

... which is what this is talking about. What you'll get is button
press and release events, and it'll be up to you to figure out if they
represent clicks or not. But you'll get events for every mouse button
that way.
