Two things:

First, ctrl-click works for me on the word "alarm."  Does same thing as
left-click.

Second, this is common for this type of thingy.  Whatever it is called.
Also see Address book.

But it gets better: whereas in iCal ctrl-click and left-click are the same,
and ctrl-click and right-click (which are usually the same) are different,
in Address Book, left-click and right-click are different (bring up two
completely different menus), but this time, ctrl-click does the same thing
as right-click (which is expected).

Fun!
