Calling javascript instead of href in Vega Lite Tooltop

I’d like to call another javascript function when an area is clicked, rather than follow a url as in the example below. How do I do this?

I mocked up a CSV file of URLS and used lodash to merge the two datasets together in one cell

bhamGeoFeaturesWithURL = _.merge(bhamGeoFeatures,urls)

and referenced the new datafile.

.data(bhamGeoFeaturesWithURL)
    .transform({ "calculate": "datum.url", "as": "url" })

Thanks, Chris.
