Run functions when player presses right click with item

[Tiny Desk Engineer]

I have an item that is supposed to do something every tick while the player holding it in their hand and pressing right click, and not just when they're looking at a block, but just every single time they right click.

And I also need another function which runs the tick the player starts holding right click, but not on any ticks afterwards.

How do I do these things?

Look at what for example the ShieldItem does.

Or any other item that uses the startUsingItem() and its related methods.

I looked at the ShieldItem class, but I couldn't find any mention of startUsingItem in it. Might be remembering incorrectly, though.
