At the risk of looking goofy, why not create an SVG image with a solid border:

It may just be a mobile problem (or maybe just Android) because on desktop an SVG widget responds when you click in a transparent area.

But to get a larger hit area you still have to make a group, because SVG widgets don't have margins and they always grow to fill their rectangle. It would be nice to be able to define a wide margin.

But if we ever get the ability to use them as button icons, that would be an even better solution.

Re:  using widgets for buttons like disclosure triangles.

On mobile they seem very unresponsive.

Jacque says you have to actually tap the pixels inside the defined svg area.

We had this discussion before relative to using small graphics as buttons. So, are we back to making small groups with a background graphic fill white with blendlevel set to 1 or tranparent button on top etc.?

In Spotify, they have super small, tiny disclosure, reveal, popup thin arrows and they work so well, without your finger having to hit some exact target zoneā€¦ It's almost as if for a small icon that may only be 20 X 20 the responsive zone is more like 50X50 with the icon in the middle so even "big thumbs" have no trouble.

Any thoughts on best approach? What are you doing?

One wonders if we need an enhancement request (if even possible) to set an object prop like:

fullRectResponsive = true

then mousedown/up works whereever you touch inside rect.

or something like that.
