I'm not sure what if any other editing programs offer something like
Audition's Marquee tool - time/frequency specific edits while in
spectral view.
Similar to a photo editor, click and drag the cursor to make a box (or
draw a polygon in version 2.0)over the area in the spectral image you
want to alter, and then you can apply a wide range of effects.
I'm sure there are several ways to deal with a pop or click using the
Marquee tool. Cutting and Pasting as I previously described, or as
umashankar mentioned, using the "remove pop or click" effect. Or
another way would be to use the "amplify" effect and attenuate the pop
until it blends in.
Adobe Audition offers a free trial for a month I think. If you are not
in the market to spend on new software - a lot can be accomplished in
one month.
