It can't be done without changes to the platform, since "bubbling" requires invoking methods on the parent (or having the parent respond to return values from methods called on the children, which is how it is currently implemented).
Only user interface events are bubbling (or tunneling, in the case of container events). This is by design. What is the use case for bubbling other types of events?
