Any plain Morph (one that doesn't override handlesMouseDown: and 
mouseDown: et. al.) can be sensitized to mouse clicks. Just say:

myMorph on: #mouseDown send: #doSomething to: someObject.

Same for the events mouseMove, mouseStillDown, mouseUp, mouseEnter, 
mouseLeave, mouseEnterDragging, mouseLeaveDragging, click, 
doubleClick, doubleClickTimeout, startDrag, keyStroke, and gesture.

You can drag a button using its brown Morph halo handle.
Or you can hold down the control key and drag (this will bring up the 
halo).
