Some people think a mousedown is like a click, but it's only the first half.
(Hint: Half-way click around on the page.)
<script> export default { methods: { onMouseDownOutside(e, el) { console.log("onMouseDownOutside"); console.log("Event:", e); console.log("Element mouse half-way clicked on:", e.target); console.log("Element that yearned for this information:", el); } } } </script>
