Some things that can be clicked on a page aren't form elements, buttons, or anchor tags. I use this a lot for testing that requires clicking on several things, and the like.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing f/F "open a link..." handling and the code that decides which page elements can receive link hints. Trace how clickable elements are identified, then determine how elements styled with "cursor: pointer" should be included and verify that the new behavior works without disrupting existing targets.
