There's no particularly nice way to do this. Probably the best option is not to set text on the column, but to set the graphic to a Label containing the desired text instead. Then register the mouse listener with the Label.

Using the standard Oracle tutorial as an example, you could do:

TableColumn<Person, String> firstNameColumn = new TableColumn<>();
Label firstNameColHeader = new Label("First Name");
firstNameColHeader.setOnMouseClicked(e -> System.out.println("Click on header"));
firstNameColumn.setGraphic(firstNameColHeader);

Note that this will break the table menu button, if you use it, because the options in the menu use the text from the TableColumn, which is no longer present.
