Javascript: Find out which element was clicked without attaching any eventlistener to it?

If I have the following html, is it possible to tell which element the user clicked on using JQuery?

    <div id="left">
      <div id="item1">1</div>
      <div id="item2">2</div>
    </div>

  $('#left').click(function(){

  });

Answer 1

do you mean:

$('#left').click(function(evt){
    console.log( $(evt.target).attr("id") ); //shows either item1 or item 2
});
