You do not have to say "Click" at all in DNS 5 unless you have specified
this in the appropriate Options setting. In general, menu items do not
require "Click" in front of them. There is, I agree, some uncertainty on
where you need to use "Click" and this is addressed in DNS6. Whether this
will completely meet your objections I am unsure at present.
