I'd have to dig into the click code to be sure, but I could swear I've
never seen any logic to find the center of the element etc, I think it's
just firing events (unless there is something way down inside webdriver)
If there is a way to do what you are asking, it's going to be down in the
underlaying webdriver code, not up at the watir api layer.
