provide event target information? #51

Closed allefeld closed 3 years ago

I made a feature suggestion for JupyterLab, https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/7873, where I noted that I tried to use ipyevents to implement it, and ran into problems.

Could you have a look there and tell me whether you would be interested in extending your package to enable the behavior I need?

Briefly, I need to detect mouse click events, but not by x,y coordinates but by targeted element (or even better, a parent of the target element via event.target.closest(selector)).

@allefeld -- this would be pretty easy to add, I think (a line or two of javascript in ipyevents).

If you have a bit of time to open a PR to add it that would be great!

I'll try. Can you give me a hint where to look?
