Iʼm not sure Iʼm getting it.

- You insert (substitute-command-keys "\\[mu4e-search-maildir]")
- At that point you can add a 'keymap property to the text youʼve just
  inserted, binding RET and mouse-2 to #'mu4e-search-maildir

Why do you need to lookup "j" in the local map at all?

(as an aside, clickable stuff is probably better done with buttons
than by inventing your own thing).
