Allow mouse interactions with block widget content

📝 Provide a description of the improvement

Scenario: I have a block widget with UI element inside - the UI element is mostly text:

I'd like to interact with it - e.g. to be able to select the text within the widget. But currently this seems to be blocked by CKEditor - mouse events are not getting to the widget content and I'm not able to select the text.

From the issues (e.g. #2773) I've read this seems to be some design decision and not a bug, but I was not able to find some more detailed explanation why this is the case. Also, what is not clear to me is if this is a temporary limitation and perhaps might be fixed in the future?

Thanks.

I think that we could merge this into #4600 and #4465. They boil down to stopping CKE5 handling some events and once this is done selection should start to work. I achieved that with native <input>s. Could you check a workaround from #4465? If it works for your case too, I'd close this ticket.

Thanks, those issues provide more info and I actually remember reading them before but today I could not find them ...

The workaround/hack mentioned in the #4465 helped, thanks!

FYI: I proposed a better workaround in #4600 (comment). It's also in line with the direction that we'll take on our side.
