The method I've always used  to Make HC accept double-clicks as such is to
use a wait in the mouseUp script:

on mouseUp
   wait 10 ticks     --60 ticks in a second -  adjust to your liking.
   if the mouseclick then
      --double-click script
   else
      --SIngle-click script
   end if
end mouseUp

This doesn't check if the second click was actually on the button, only if
the mouse was clicked again. Hope that is OK.
