Creating View Transitions that are non-blocking
Does anyone know if it's possible to create view transitions that don't block user interaction? For full-page transitions (e.g. MPA navigation) then it makes sense that the page is not interactive but for small DOM updates, it would be great if while a small part of the page was running a transition, then users could still click and interact elsewhere.
Does anyone know if this is possible? I can't find a definitive answer online.

I don't think there's a way. Both single-page and multi-page work the same as far as taking snapshots goes, as far as I know.
Though... I think there is a way to interupt them 🤔
I remember Bramus mentioning it to me, but he might have been saying that eventually that will happen... I did find this https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/8687
Thanks @Kevin Powell!
Yes I remember in the video you posted Bramus had mentioned something about this as well, click events during the transition
