SAHI selector by onclick attribute

Hi!
Is there any way to get element by onclick attribute? For ex., I have:
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="toggle_invoice_payment_allowed_status('16199')">
<img src="/s/icons/thumbs_down.png" title="Current Status :: No, Click to Toggle Status">
<br>No
</a>
I want to get this _link by onclick value. I can get this with css selector, in this way:
a[onclick~='toggle_invoice_payment_allowed_status']

We cannot get element by using onclick attribute.

why not? Using the sahi controller with accessor $element.onclick, it returns "null" when there's no onclick defined... and if defined, it returns "function onclick(event) { / /some code }"
so... as I see it _image("Current Status :: No, Click to Toggle Status").onclick should return "function onclick(event) { toggle_invoice_payment_allowed_status('16199')}" and you should be able to do asserts with this string...
and if you are looking for an element, loop through the elements.onclick and compare them with your expected "toggle..."
