Is there a way to get the cursor position within the canvas? #277

I'm looking for a way to retrieve the mouse position within the canvas in a similar manner to ipycanvas' command:

def handle_mouse_move(x, y):
    # Do something
    pass

canvas.on_mouse_move(handle_mouse_move)

I don't see a way to do this via https://js.cytoscape.org/#core/events but I would be happy to be wrong. Otherwise I think we need to find a way to grab the underlying canvas object and add our own event hooks to it.
