no access to mouse event on node / link hover

[Anchel123]

Describe the bug

when i'm using the onNodeHover event,
it don't seem to give me the mouse event only the node and the prev node.

Expected behavior

that the onNodeHover event will get the mouse event,
like onNodeClick.

@Anchel123 thanks for reaching out.

This is intentional, and it's because there is actually no pointer hover event that leads to the triggering of this function. Underneath the surface this is not using html DOM elements nor SVG, for which there are these types of events available. It's using canvas elements for which there is only a single element for the whole graph. The nodes/links hovered are inferred programmatically from the position of the mouse on the canvas at any given point, thus there is no actual underlying pointer event available to provide here.

Hope this makes sense.
