Summary

Chrome 142 adds support for the interest invokers feature. This provides a declarative way to signal interest in an element (for example, by hovering, focusing, or long-pressing it) and have a popover open as a result of that interest.

This feature includes the following subfeatures:

  • The interestfor attribute, available on the HTML <a>, <button>, and <area> elements, and the SVG <a> element.
  • The InterestInvokerElement property, available on the HTML <a>, <button>, and <area> elements, and the SVG <a> element.
  • The interest and loseinterest events, available on the HTML <a>, <button>, and <area> elements, and the SVG <a> element.
  • The InterestEvent event object.
  • The CSS interest-delay, interest-delay-start, and interest-delay-end properties.
  • The CSS :interest-source and :interest-target pseudo-classes.

The CSS features are already specified and in BCD. The HTML and DOM features are not yet specified (see whatwg/html#11006); this PR adds them to BCD, marked as "standard_track": false for now, until the PR gets merged.
