Hi Daniel, I am afraid, mouse move events aren't catched by the image, and therfore you can not use the image model to listen for the mouse position changes. The above code for mouse click events does not work, because the click event is only send to the widget (a ImageMorph) but not to the model. But the model registers itself for the click event when the widget is build. If a click even is send on the image morph, the model calls #value on its action property, just set an apropiate block as action for your ImageModel an example: im := ImageModel new. im image: PolymorphSystemSettings pharoLogoForm. im action:[ActiveHand inspect]. im openWithSpec. clicking on the image will open an inspector with the active hand.
