A short while ago i posted a vanilla multislider which uses data
structures and supports jump on click:
https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/10756/vanilla-struct-multislider-with-jump-on-click-and-drag.

It does so by having rows for each y value and columns for each x.

It works like a charm, but: If you want to use many sliders, like more
than eight or so, a disturbing memory bug occurs, which slows everything
down a bit but more importantly won't let you close the window for
seconds or even minutes.

So it is possible to get the click in vanilla, but it comes at a cost.
Using iem_event or receivecanvas still seems to be the preferable way.

best wishes, ingo
