Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-overflow-4] Should block-ellipsis clip ::before/::after text? (#11253)

> Yes, it might help us to attach a button style feature after the ellipsis. This button is a very common pattern in actual web pages or components.

In the example you show, this is not done using `(-webkit-)line-clamp`, but instead the text actually has an ellipsis. I think most uses of `-webkit-line-clamp` that do something like this (with the toggle button inside the line-clamp container, rather than in a parent) do so with `position: absolute`, and we recently resolved that that behavior should work if the abspos's containing block is the element with `-webkit-line-clamp` or an ancestor (#11379).

That said, that wouldn't make it possible to have the toggle button inline with the text. So there's a use case to enable this. However, I think this would bring up a number of tricky issues to solve. It would also be best suited to the `continue: discard` version of line-clamp, rather than the `continue: collapse` variant I'm working on in the Chrome implementation (see #7708).
