Highcharts no drilldown on bar / column click
<p>I have the following use case: On a page there is a Highcharts column with drilldown <a href="http://www.highcharts.com/demo/column-drilldown" rel="nofollow">as in this example</a>.
When the labels below the bars are clicked, I would like to drilldown, as default. However, when the bar / column itself is clicked, I do not want to drilldown but rather get information on the clicked bar (e. g. the name of the category). How is this possible?</p>

<p>What I've tried so far is to evaluate the click event with jQuery and then stop drilling down by using "return false;". The problem with that is that I have seen no way to retrieve the column data as the JavaScript object itself is not accessible.
What I did then is to use the "drilldown" event. I can now easily access the objects data / properties but have have two difficulties:</p>

<ol>
<li>How to identify whether a bar or the label below the bar was clicked?</li>
<li>How can I prevent the drilldown in case a bar was clicked?</li>
</ol>

<p>Thank you in advance for hints and tips!</p>
