The point of that method being protected is that under normal circumstances you don't want to be able to add handlers to a widget that's not capable of firing them in the first place. So a widget subclass creates addFooHandler(), then uses this method internally.
Are you saying you want to add a custom event handler to a widget, then force that widget to fire the event from external code? Sounds like it wants to be a subclass.
