Re: [csswg-drafts] Add an `::interest-button` pseudo element to interest invokers (#12437)

If we do have this by default, we should try for it to:
1. Only show up by default when actually needed
2. Not affect layout

Otherwise I worry `::interest-button { display: none }` will just become another addition to the standard CSS reset…

That said, I can see value in a more general CSS property that says "when this element is clicked, trigger `:hover` on the parent". Once we have that, `::interest-button` can be implemented with regular generated content AND it provides a solution for many other interactions involving `:hover`, `pointerenter`/`pointerleave` events etc.
