Instead of (or even in addition to) relying on a cursor to hover over an element, use a short javascript snippet to make it clickable.

Set up the css styles for the action you want to apply to your clickable elements...

	.highlight {
    background-color: yellow;
	}
	/* Or whatever styles you want to apply 
	when clicked instead of hovered... */

...Add the class to the html element(s)...

<div class="clickable">Element 1</div>
<div class="clickable">Element 2</div>
<div class="clickable">Element 3</div>

	(...and so on...)
  

...then finish the technique with this simple javascript snippet...

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
    var clickableElements = document.querySelectorAll(".clickable");

    clickableElements.forEach(function(element) {
        element.addEventListener("click", function() {
            this.classList.toggle("highlight");
        });
    });
});
  

Simple and satisfying!
