The input events emitted by the Pointer transform are very helpful, but I am wondering if there is any way to only emit events on click-to-stick, or at least somehow identify the events associated with a click. I would like to use clicks to drive other cells, but the mousemove update rate is too high.

Yes. See the discussion at [A pointer interaction that handles click differently? · Issue #1832 · observablehq/plot · GitHub](https://github.com/observablehq/plot/issues/1832)
