Doubleclick to access node while using Colorbox

I've realized that by double clicking in just the right way on an event box on the calendar a user is taken to the node page for that event, where they could edit the event time or whatever. Basically I click on the event box, move it slightly and click again. Normal double clicking doesn't work.

I can also access the event node by Control/clicking (Mac) which gives me the option to open the link in another tab or window. I suppose right clicking could work to if you have the setup to do so. But this doesn't help iPad or iPhone users.

Is there any way to make this more predictable? Such as clicking once to use the Colorbox display of the event info and a double click (or whatever) to edit the node, but in a new blank page and not another window or tab?
