click a joint and use nav widget. To use IK for rotating, you need to define IK handle first; then you can use this handle. No simple grabbing is availabe

for ik handle you can specify action for left or right drag (together with coordinate system). Choose one of rotation actions for it; then dragging handle will rotate bone around center of the handle.
