When I was young and I worked on hildon I found this problem:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496167

In summary, one hildon widget was using a gtkbutton to modify a date 
value, so pressing was the best way to increase that value (the button 
was used to increase the value on a slide-like widget).

And although at that time it was related with automatic testing, if a 
button keeps to be used in that way, I think that it could be useful for 
voice control ATs related. And after all if you are implemeting "click", 
it should be easy to implement "press" and "release".
