Jquery has a method for namespacing events. http://docs.jquery.com/Namespaced_Events

You can add, trigger and remove separate functions bound to the same event via namespaces:

$("a").bind("click.custom1",function(){ ... });
$("a").bind("click.custom2",function(){ ... });
$("a").trigger("click.custom2");
$("a").unbind("click.custom2");

As long as you unbind the namespaced event your normal onclick should be unaffected. You may have to bind two separate namespaces to the click event as above if that doesn't work.
