Yes, the JS can do that. Assuming your tree menu is within an element,
probably a div, with an ID of "treemenu", you can do this:
$("treemenu").observe("click", function(event) {
var element = Event.element(event);
/* ... other stuff ... */
}
The Event.element() function will return the DOM object which caused the
Event to happen. Thus, if you click a specific list item within the
tree menu div, then it will (a) call the function above and (b) know
exactly which list item was clicked using the Event.element() function.
