You can use mousePressEvent

import sys
from PyQt6.QtCore import Qt
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QVBoxLayout, QWidget, QLineEdit

class LineEditClickable(QLineEdit):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super().__init__(parent)
        self.setPlaceholderText("Click here")

    def mousePressEvent(self, event):
        if event.button() == Qt.MouseButton.LeftButton:
            print("Left click")
            
        elif event.button() == Qt.MouseButton.RightButton:
            print("Right click")
        super().mousePressEvent(event)

class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.setWindowTitle("LineEdit Click")
        self.setFixedSize(400, 150)

        layout = QVBoxLayout()
        
        self.line_edit = LineEditClickable()
        layout.addWidget(self.line_edit)

        layout_container = QWidget()
        layout_container.setLayout(layout)
        self.setCentralWidget(layout_container)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = MainWindow()
    window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec())
