Is there any way to make the amarok tray icon to respond to clicks.

For example click three times on the tray icon and it changes to the next track.

Would this be at all possible?

Just right-click the icon, then a menu comes up.

Triple click? 
Do you have a scroll wheel on your mouse (if not, you might want to buy a new or wish for one for Christmas!). Middle click on the tray icon pauses/plays, scrolling changes the volume. Oh right. If you hold down ctrl and scroll the icon, it's the same as rewind/forward.
