Research direction

No implementation file or test is named. Start by tracing how event listeners parse and handle from, then check how htmx afterRequest events expose their target; done means the proposed to me form matches that target and existing listener behavior remains intact.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When used in conjunction with htmx, I will often use _hs to perform some action at the end of the htmx swap or request.

Example:

<button hx-get="/get" hx-target="#the-target-of-htmx"></button>
<div id="the-target-of-htmx" _="on htmx:afterRequest from previous <button/> toggle .cool-style on me"></div>

What I would like is to be able to use a to keyword in place of from such that the following selector matches the target of the event such as

<div id="the-target-of-htmx" _="on htmx:afterRequest to me toggle .cool-style on me"></div>
