Specification

Summary

This feature adds an `interesttarget` attribute to <button> and <a> elements. The `interesttarget` attribute adds "interest" behaviors to the element, such that when the user "shows interest" in the element, actions are triggered on the target element. Actions can include things like showing a popover or modal dialog. The user agent will handle detecting when the user "shows interest" in the element, via methods such as hovering the element with a mouse, hitting special hotkeys on the keyboard, or long-pressing the element on touchscreens. When interest is shown or lost, an `InterestEvent` will be fired on the target, which have default actions in the case of popovers - showing and hiding the popover.
