    Is there yet any built-in way to make UIDocument rendering an UI Toolkit interface in Worldspace block Raycasts? Currently if I have any GameObjects under the UI, all the clicks in the UI go through and trigger unwanted things. How can I "block out" the world behind the UI so only UI would receive clicks? It would be really nice to have a single checkbox "Raycast target", which would block everything from going through.

    Maybe you could leverage the Trickle Down and Bubble Up phases to know if the mouse event was used this frame, then block raycasts from occuring.

    At worst I don't know but a transparent VisualElement underneath all other UI elements that would eat all input events could be inserted (display = flex, but background-image = rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)).
