I'm going to use piezo electric, but different than the ones that click one

The clicker will click for as long as you hold the button down.

Once you get one, please explain how that works. With what I know of
piezo-electric transducers, that is impossible, but I would it find it
immensely useful to be wrong in this instance.

There is a piezo sparker for striking torches that puts out more
than one spark per squeeze. It has some sort of ratcheting action that
causes the crystal to be repeatedly hit as you squeeze the handle.
