How to Link whole unorganized list area

Hey Flynn/JD,

I have been using Firebug lately to try and debug things, but I haven't been able to figure this one out.

I want my <li>'s within my <ul>'s in widgets to be totally clickable as a link (not just the actual link text itself).

I know I'm probably explaining this badly so this site is an example of what I'm talking about:

On the left sidebar with the categories, if you just hover over the <li> area, it will be linked. You don't have to hover right over the text to get the link.

The atahualpa default makes the bullet change color when the <li> area is hovered over, so it obviously recognized the hover over the area, but you have to hover over the link to be able to click it.

I am using wordpress 2.9.1 and atahualpa 3.4.4. I feel like this might be a complicated project just because not all <ul>'s are going to necessarily contain links...if it's too difficult don't worry about it.
