Hi David, no, currently it is not possible to have events on markers.
We discussed this at the SVG.Open 2003 in Vancouver, and I think we will revisit this issue again when working on SVG 1.2 full. An alternative would be to have a DOM method like path.getClosestVertex(x,y) or path.getPathSegmentAtPoint(x,y) which would assist in finding the correct vertex or path segment, which I guess is really what you want. SVG paths already have a useful set of DOM methods to access path geometry properties, read path segment data, modify and create path segments. So one could extend these methods.
