Click through Frame

For years, I’ve been saying that frames (and maybe even groups) need a Click Through property.

Now that we have not only Auto Layout but also grids, the outer frame essentially loses its priority in terms of click interaction. Yes, sometimes you need to select it to tweak certain settings, but in practice, the priority shifts toward the content inside the auto layout or grid — that’s what we need fast access to: adding elements, editing tags/buttons/descriptors/cards, etc.

In this context, an “autolayouted” frame should, either automatically or manually, become a kind of meta-frame — a container that merely wraps and defines the behavior for the inner content, but is no longer treated as content itself.
