JSF :: Displaying Value In OutputText When Some Event Occurs

I have one requirement where when i click on the attribute i would like to create an action and display the same in OutputText.

Ex:

This is Attribute Description outputText :

<rich:columnGroup id="CMAttributeBrowserDescriptionRow2">
<rich:column id="CMAttributeBrowserDescriptionColumn2" styleClass="selectedObj"
rendered="#{CMBrowserBean.attributePresent}" >
<!--<h:outputText id="SelectedObjectDescription1" render="true" value="#{currentAttribute.value}"/>-->
[b][quote]<h:outputText styleClass="attributeTableFont1" readonly="false" id="attributeTextdescription" disabled="false"/>[/quote][/b]
</rich:column>
</rich:columnGroup>

The action should be for :

<rich:column id="AttributeColumn2" styleClass="parentBrowserColumn">
[b]<a onclick="document.getElementById('CMBrowser:0:CMAttributeBrowserDescriptionForm:attributeTextdescription').value=#{currentAttribute.name}" >[/b]<h:outputText id="AttributeName" title="#{currentAttribute.name}" value="#{currentAttribute.name}"
styleClass="attributeValueFont" /></a>
</rich:column>

I am unable to get the text coming on outputText, when i click on the above attribute.
