Yes - see

This fetches OpenStreetMap data and renders it in a vector layer. You can only 
click on the LineStrings at the points.

Using http://www.openlayers.org/dev/lib/OpenLayers.js.

Code to setup the control:

 controls = {
                select: new OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature
                    (vectorLayer,{callbacks:		                               
{'up':selectUp,'over':selectOver}})
                        };
 for(var key in controls)
 {
      map.addControl(controls[key]);
 }
 controls.select.activate();
