Explainer https://github.com/Igalia/explainers/tree/main/nodes-from-rect Specification None Summary An API on Document for returning the sequence of elements or text nodes within a rectangle. Blink component Blink>Editing>Selection Web Feature ID Missing feature Motivation Browsers provide a variety of built-in interaction modes for HTML content. However, there are use cases where these built-ins aren't enough: for example, the browser's selection mechanism only works in the text-flow direction. In certain contexts, users want to interact with content in more specialised ways. A common example is the ability to select an area of the screen to interact with a grouping of content (eg to copy it or to move its position). This feature's goal is to provide web developers the ability to get access to content within a specific area of a web page. This is useful for creating custom interaction models beyond those provided by browsers. While this is possible today, the solutions are limited and require heavy lifting from developers.
