My take: I'd call this a "piecemask." The mask appears to be one solid
layer, but actually has elements poking through that are individually
masked, so they can still receive events that would otherwise never be
captured, while being stylistically merged with the main mask.
There are other ways to do it, but this seems like what you want:

Note some late-model CSS is used in the Fiddle, and it may only be
seamless with current FF and WK, but it can be made backward-compat
with older browsers as well. You'll get the idea.
