Passing mouse clicks through an overlaying element

Question

Is it possible to pass mouse clicks through an overlaying element:

Answer 1

I see you are using "rain.24.png" is the overlay animated? As in you are repositioning the images to simulate rain? If this is the case, then it might be best to stop/hide the animated on mousedown and then get the activate your function on the underlying elements using mouseup.

If that isn't the case, then use Vincent's answer to get the element, then call the associated function or use trigger to simulate the click
