Clone Sprite including events?

Hey, I have a map where you can manually check different locations after you visited them, locations are represented by sprites that lie over the map itself. If you click that sprite the color changes from white to black. Is it possible to create one sprite and all events needed and then clone that sprite to use it for the next location without creating all the events again? Or is there an easier way?

Use Families to avoid having to repeat events for different objects.

Sounds good, but unfortunately families are not available with the free license.
