Hi Alex,
Although, it will be possible to achieve the desired behavior by attaching click event handlers to the events and slot element, it will require adding additional code to get the already existing in the edit event information. Therefore, I suggest you to consider to keep using the edit event. However, you may disable moving, resizing, deleting events by switching off the appropriate Editable options:
In order to prevent the edit form from appearing you can handle the edit event and call preventDefault:
