Kevin's solution is better than mine, because the clickCharChunk gives
you a chunk expression that reflects the location of the event you're
basing the navigation on, and is not affected by subsequent mouse
wanderings. The mouseCharChunk, on the other hand, simply reports the
current mouse location in terms of the underlying text. It doesn't
actually tell you where the click happened, but only where the mouse is
when the function executes (hopefully very soon after the click
happened).
