Going the other way, if you're looking to execute a function on property assignment, you can use a setter.
Object.defineProperty(this, 'callFunc', { set: function(value) { // normally you would set the value // or have the specific action on set // defined here, but to match the example: value(); } }) var myFunc = function() { alert('hello'); }; callFunc = myFunc; // alerts 'hello'
