How to open Dialog Window when Web Item is clicked?

Question

As far as I can tell web items are used for linking to URLs. How might you connect the click event of the web item to a dialog menu like the ones for Create Issue and Create Project? I have seen JavaScript used for this purpose, but I'm not sure how one attaches this js to the web item.

You should use the web-resource tag in the atlassian-plugin.xml

But how do you connect the html and js to the plugin?
