Is it possible to use uiConnect() to connect to the standard shape events?

For instance I would like to connect to the "selectionChanged" event of a table. However, the selectionChanged event is not recognised despite being shown in the results of the .event() function.

Source Code:

main()
{
DebugN("myTable events:", myTable.events());
uiConnect("selectionChangedUiCB", "myTable", "selectionChanged");
}

void selectionChangedUiCB(mapping event)
{
DebugN("selectionChangedUiCB");
}

Log Result:

You can use the uiConnect() function to connect to a function which called by the CTRL function triggerEvent().
Reacting on a standard event of a UI shape is not possible.
