Click on label in LabelClass to open InfoWindow

I am using the LabelClass in an application. I would like to be able to click on the labels themselves and open the popup for the feature layer the labels are labeling. I just can't figure out how to pass through the event. In the image below. I have a light grey circle for the features. When I click on the circle symbol away from the text the popup opens as expected. When I click on the text there is no InfoWindow popup. Ideally I would like the symbology to be transparent so you can click on the label text to open the InfoWindow. Any ideas?

Richard,

The labelClass labels are not connected to the actual features where they would register a click event and display the popup. I am not sure this can be done, popups are for the feature and not the label. I guess you could try and register a click event with the label and turn around and fire the features click event but that would assume you can get the feature associated with the label and actually get a event registered with the label.
