Allow non-widget-like elements to become clickable.

Problem

Currently in Streamlit there is no way to register clicks on non-widget-like user interface elements like text and images.

It would be cool if ALL Streamlit elements could be made to generate an event to trigger a callback when they are clicked on.

Solution

MVP: A new option in non-widget-like elements – perhaps on_click=callback_function

In addition to this one should probably think about a visual feedback that comes with this trigger.

• Is there a default animation?
• Is it temporary (will fade out) or will it stay?
• Is there a way to change the visual feedback?

Just a few thoughts 😃

st-click-detector and st-clickable-images can be used as workarounds for this feature.
