It appears that one cannot define "clickable" text in org-mode. I was
trying to make some text in an org-file respond to different types of
clicking. I know that links provide some functionality for this, but
out of curiosity I wanted to see what else I could do.
If I run the following code on a buffer in text-mode, the first four
characters in the buffer turn blue with a white background, they turn
a light green when the mouse is over them, and finally a message box
pops up when I click on the characters.
(let ((map (make-sparse-keymap)))
(define-key map (kbd "<down-mouse-1>")
'(lambda() (interactive) (message-box "it works!")))
(add-text-properties 1 5 `(keymap, map
font-lock-face (:foreground "blue"
:background "white")
mouse-face highlight)))
If I switch to org-mode, the clickability and mouse highlighting go
away. They also do not appear when I run the function in an
org-buffer.
Does anyone know if there is a feature in org-mode that turns this
off, or if there is a way to get the clickability to work? Is it
related to having links that are clickable?
Thanks,
John

I'm not sure to understand your use case -- why do you want clickable text in
the first place (other than links)?
But, did you look at `org-add-link-type' which does allow some kind of
powerful stuff (mainly for export, but can maybe be diverted from its original
purpose)?
I guess you also are aware of the elisp and shell links you can already put in
any Org file, as clickable "buttons"?
Best regards,
Seb
