How to capture "Click" or "MouseOver" actions of SelectOneChoice.

Question

Hi All,
I want to show a popup with some text + hyperlink when user either clicks or mouseover the selectOneChoice.
I can't use ShortDesc because the tooltip contains a hyperlink as well.So i created a method in managed bean and raising a popup using that.
Right now i used below.But it's triggers only if there is a value selected and that too if there is a change in value.
But i wanted it whenever we just click on SelectOneChoice and need not necessarily select anything.
<af:selectOneChoice label="Testing" id="soc1" autoSubmit="true" valueChangeListener="#{RamaBean.test}">
Thanks,
Sid.

Hi,
I am new to ADF Faces,May be i am not getting your solution.
The selectOneChoice is not allowing to place the ServerLsitener inside it.So coded as below.
It's not working.Can you take a look.
