The menu on my home page adds a parameter to the url. This is how I did it
with the concat directive...
Look for this line of code

< SPAN><a><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="@DisplayName"/>

Now we need to add the tool tip using the Title field, replace the href
value with with the URL Path (@FileRef is the URL Path field that you see in
the DataSource Propertiesfor adocument library) and append the Menu name so
that we can try and use it in the future to expand the correct menu.
Replace the code above with

<a title="{@Title}"><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of
select="concat(@FileRef, '?menu=', @Menu)"/>

Adding an onclick event is a bit more complicated but I have done this also

This demo updates the scr attribute of an activex control on the page.
