Detect click on OS X menu bar?

I'm curious if the开发者_JAVA百科re's a trick to detecting a click on the Menu Bar as a whole. I know I can detect a click on an NSStatusItem or NSMenu, but I am looking for events pertaining to the empty space of the Menu Bar.

Looking through the documentation, it does not seem possible. However, I wanted to know if anyone had a workaround for this functionality?

You can install a local event monitor using NSEvent addLocalMonitorForEventsMatchingMask:handler:

See the documentation located here.
