Yes, this is what I was really after. I tried Frank's suggestion, and
[struct] does 'detect' clicks, but only in edit mode and not for GOP. In
the end I used Geunther's [image], which does the job, but isn't ideal
i) because of the external dependency and ii) because there's no image
scaling, but does enable you to make nice looking buttons if you hide a
bang behind it.
