Not possible. An event listener has a built-in fixed signature.

Even with event capturing, if you pass `event' from an event handler
attribute to runMe(), the lines
e = (e) ? e : window.event;
in getMouseCoords() and
ev = ev || window.event;
in runMe() are unnecessary.
However, you are looking for event bubbling, where you would need only one
event listener:
<head>
<!-- ... -->
<meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript">
<script type="text/javascript">
function handleClick(e)
{
if (e)
{
var mousecoords = getMouseCoords(e);
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onclick="handleClick(e)">
<!-- ... -->
</body>
