Could be better. 

Is what's needed is A) mouse click handler which can convert screen pixel
coordinates to a map tile coordinate, B) find city Y at tile X method, and C)
something to wire trigger an "open city Y" method somewhere?

If nobody is currently attemting this, Im willing to have a go and submit a
patch back to the list or maintainer. 

If so, any advice on how to go about it, what in the code to look at, other
issues to consider, pitfalls, etc would be welcomed.

Ben
