Thanks for the contribution! I've made a few suggestions to try and clarify some instructions that felt unclear to me at first, and also to remove some of the commented lines in the samples that I thought were not needed.

@luke-whos-here Thank you very much for the quick code review. I applied most of your suggested changes and made the explanation of passing the event data to the view model more detailed as the code sample does not include some verbose method overrides which are required to achieve that. |

This pull request adds documentation about a feature implemented in AvaloniaUI/Avalonia#20564.
It is my first time contributing to Avalonia's documentation and I am uncertain whether this is a suitable way to document this feature. However, I am certain it must be documented for developers to find it.
