Depends the type of event you want. If it is for GUI, it's either inlibgag or 
if it is for the game it is in MapGUI::handleMenuClick.

Sound can be mixed through my SoundMixer class, which would probably require 
some (simple) changes to account for the click things.

But at your place I would first have the sound then add the code.
