Pointer Events

A CSS property controlling whether an element responds to mouse and touch interactions, useful for making elements click-through or non-interactive. Disable pointer events for decorative overlays that shouldn’t block underlying interactions. Be cautious—removing pointer events can create accessibility issues.
