Yeah,  I couldn't figure out what this function is useful for and
stopped digging further. But reading it made me confident that 'click'
might doesn't do what I want. In the meantime, Ingo mentioned 'mouse'.
I guess the corresponding code is found in g_editor.c:

void canvas_mouse(t_canvas *x, t_floatarg xpos, t_floatarg ypos,
    t_floatarg which, t_floatarg mod)
{
    canvas_doclick(x, xpos, ypos, which, mod, 1);
}
