How to add an event to a quicklaunch item in SharePoint?

Question

I want to add an event to one of my quicklaunch items in SharePoint, but I don't know how to do that.

Or maybe to link the item to a page that would do what I want and then close and then come back to the previous one.

Do you have any idea how I can do this ?

Here is a method to add an item to the quick launch in C#

private void AddNodeToQuickLaunch(string linkName, string SiteToOpen, string pathtoPage)
   {
       try
       {
           using (SPWeb web = SPContext.Current.Site.OpenWeb(SiteToOpen))
           {
               web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;

               SPNavigationNodeCollection nodes = web.Navigation.QuickLaunch;

               SPNavigationNode createNode = new SPNavigationNode(linkName, pathtoPage, true);

               foreach (SPNavigationNode node in nodes)
               {
                   bool nodeExists = false;
                   if (node.Title.Equals("Lists"))
                   {
                       foreach (SPNavigationNode child in node.Children)
                       {
                           if (child.Title == linkName)
                           {
                               nodeExists = true;
                           }
                       }

                       if (!nodeExists)
                       {
                           node.Children.Add(createNode, node);
                       }
                   }
               }
               web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
           }
       }
       catch (Exception ex)
       {
           throw ex;
       }
   }
