ImageJ runs a macro named <tool name>+" Options" when the user
double-clicks on the tool icon. In ImageJ 1.33i or later, it runs a
macro named <tool name>+" Selected" when the user single-clicks on the
tool icon. Here is an example:

     macro "Sample Tool - C0a0L18f8L818f" {
         print("User clicked on the image using the tool");
     }

    macro "Sample Tool Options" {
        print("User double-clicked on the tool icon");
    }

     // requires ImageJ 1.33i or later
     macro "Sample Tool Selected" {
         print("User clicked on the tool icon");
     }
