Programmatically fire map's click event

Question

Hello,
I am using the Esri's Javascript API 4.24. I have created functionality that allows a user to add a graphic to the map by clicking on the map. The type of graphic added depends on some previous selection that user has made. For example, selecting one option (say Option A) adds a circle graphic whereas selecting a different option (say Option B)  adds a square graphic.
So, my question is how can i programmatically fire/trigger a map's click event?

Hi, Is anyone able to fire the event with view.emit because what ever I tried I'm not able to fire the event programmatically. Can anyone be specific about the solution?

Thanks,

Well shoot...I just figured that out:

mapView.popup.open({ 
                location: event.result.feature.geometry, // <- use map point of the click event
                fetchFeatures: true // <- fetch the selected features (if any)
            });

It still would be nice to fire the click event though...

Hi...any luck on this?  No matter what I try I can't seem to get the click to fire.  The mapview.emit does not seem to work in this case.  I am trying to get a forced map click to run an identify programatically.

Thanks.
