[javascript] Marker in leaflet, click event

Additional relevant info: A common need is to pass the ID of the object represented by the marker to some ajax call for the purpose of fetching more info from the server.

It seems that when we do:

marker.on('click', function(e) {...

The e points to a MouseEvent, which does not let us get to the marker object. But there is a built-in this object which strangely, requires us to use this.options to get to the options object which let us pass anything we need. In the above case, we can pass some ID in an option, let's say objid then within the function above, we can get the value by invoking: this.options.objid
