I have your latest ExoticaX lib but I haven't really studied
your GUIX lib yet. However I'm rewriting my LAGUI lib for
ExoticaX. The way I do it is I have a GUIupdate() procedure
that I expect the user to call in a loop if they want gui
interaction. In this procedure I check for events both default
and user-defined. Right now I only have one of each kind.
The draw event is defined as an actual LOOP lib method.
The "onClick" event is just a property named "onClick" whose
value holds a routine_id that the user supplies for each
control. The value of this property is defaulted to -1 and I
check for that before I actually try running the procedure.
This may not be as sofisticated as what you have already, in
fact I am pretty sure it isn't but I hope this helps you some.
If you find a better way, please clue me in.

later,
