Bind ui-sref to DOM events other than click

[Thrilleratplay]

There are occasions when ui-sref will not work as intended as when bound to the click event. A common example is when a navigation menu that will hide when the blur event is triggered. Blur is triggered before click so a ui-sref link will do nothing. The work around is to execute $state.go on mousedown. Other times, I want to highlight on a single click and go to a state on doubleclick.

Could there be an option to override the default binding where mousedown and dblClick are possible triggers for ui-sref?

hmm, interesting idea. I think your argument is sound.

I would accept a PR which adds this capability using ui-sref-opts="{ event: ['click', 'mousedown'] }"

Currently I am working on this feature for legacy version in gcca@c355119
@christopherthielen, are you consider this feature to UI-Router for Angular 2?

@gcca if you make a PR for ng1 or ng2 I'll review and merge it.
