For example, see if a <div> tag has an onclick handler set, or similar. Reproducible: Always

Can you give an example of what you might use this for?
sure. Picture a testing environment that monitors a sites' reaction to click events. In order to keep the clicks at the necessary minimum one has to determine which elements will react to clicks. Thus, in such cases this feature is necessary. (I'm talking about real clicks here not just click events generated via createEvent())
