I am trying to fix a case where I have table row link which is a sibling to the table cells to allow for nested anchor tags.
1. `pointer-events:none` to TableCells to allow for TableRowLink to get the click. 
2. `pointer-events:auto` to all interactive children of TableCells such as a, button etc
3. But HoverFilters needs to allow hover while letting the click pass through.

```
<TableRow>
    <TableRowLink />
    <TableCell />
    <TableCell />
    <TableCell>
        <HoverFilters />
    </TableCell />
```

I believe the proposal would have helped here
```
.HoverFilters {
  pointer-events: deny(click);
}
```
