Description

Hi there,

I'd love to see this implemented as a feature, if possible. : )

I'm currently using v-click-outside for closing opened dropdowns and popups, but I'd like to prevent the default click on any element in the page that gets clicked while using it this way.

Any suggestions would be great too.

Thanks!

Research direction
The issue requests a new feature to prevent default click behavior on outside elements when using the v click outside directive. The current implementation likely only triggers a callback without modifying the event. To implement, examine the directive's source code (e.g., src/directive.js) and add event.preventDefault() to the click handler that detects outside clicks. The change is localized and well understood, requiring knowledge of Vue directives and event handling. Check the existing tests and documentation to ensure the new behavior can be toggled or is desired by default.
