Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-anchor-1] Using anchor offsets/dimensions for properties other than inset/sizes (#8586)

I would want to copy one use-case from the anchoring to the cursor issue (https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/8639) here, as if we could use it for background-position or other properties, this would unlock a lot of things for which developers currently have to use JS to assign the mouse coordinates.

>  - A hover/focus state that follows the pointer/focus. There are probably hundreds of examples of this, where people are implementing something like this by either adding js that assigns a local x and y coordinates for a button to show a shiny gradient, like in this example by @LeaVerou — https://codepen.io/leaverou/pen/qBEYGeq —  though this would require us to use the anchor values not just for the inset properties or dimensions, but for things like background-position.
