You could probably Not select anything (as you do already) and then capture the button_press_event for the 
GtkTreeView, then find the cell renderer based on the mouse co-ordinates. - Then you could get the informtion 
from the cell and do what you will with it.

Have a look at:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkTreeView.html#gtk-tree-view-get-path-at-pos

and you might need:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkTreeView.html#gtk-tree-view-widget-to-tree-coords
or
