Research direction
Study the linked Framer snippet for long press implementation and review existing hooks in react use (e.g., useLongPress does not exist yet). Consider implementing a hook that detects long press on both touch and click events, using timers. Look at how other hooks like useMouseHover handle event listeners. Ensure the solution works across devices.
