add event to span with class

Hello -

maybe its a dumb question, but how is it possible to add a double-click event to a <span> tag with a certain class within the document of a ckeditor instance? I would like to trigger a custom function for certain elements. Is it possible?

Thanks for any hints
Best wishes

Re: add event to span with class

Meanwhile I found this solution

ed.editor.on('doubleclick', function(e) {
   var elem = e.data.element.$;
   if (elem.getAttribute("class")=="correx") {
      /* Do something here only for an element with the class correx */                           
   }
});

But I don't know if there is a more elegant solution than adding an event to the whole editor and filtering out the correct element afterwards.

And a little nicer version

ed.editor.on('doubleclick', function(e) {
   var elem = e.data.element;
   if (elem.hasClass("correx")) {
      alert("Content of double clicked element: " + elem.getText());                        
   }
});

I can live with that solution...
