   character `y' or `n' input event?

Yes, but you can enter any event you like as response to y-or-n-p.  It
will be read.  If it is not y, Y, n, N, <SPC>, <DEL>, C-] or C-g,
y-or-n-p will respond by asking the more emphatic form of the question.

Just do:

M-: (y-or-n-p "Event: ")

and then click the mouse somewhere on the Emacs frame.

   How could a mouse event be used to answer the question?

Richard's quote said: "tried to answer the question".

Sincerely,

Luc.
