Description

Sometimes we want an overlay that covers the entirety of a row/column (e.g. a top navigation bar). Unfortunately, unless there's really mouse good precision, it's hard to get the entire region. We should add support for clicking outside of image bounds or maybe add additive selection support (probably via SVG paths but then we get a mess about unioning regions)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current click handling code to understand how overlay regions are selected. Investigate how to extend the click detection to allow clicks outside the image bounds, possibly by modifying the hit test logic or adding an invisible border region.
