If I understand it correctly, a timeline is organized into a set of
layers. They all cover the whole band, though, so for something to be
clickable it has to be in the topmost layer. That layer is stored in the
 Timeline._eventLayer member variable of the timeline.

Thus the easiest solution might be to add empty clickable divs for the
highlightDecorators into the eventLayer. You'd just have to take care
that they are below the events, by assigning the z-index carefully.

Maybe this gets you started?
