It mimics the event of the user clicking on the element node, i.e. it fakes a click on a particular part of the page (indicated by 'node'), although the actual click part seems to be commented out. This looks more like a prototype.

It's not a prototype, it GWT's specific notation for inserting native JavaScript.
