Ability to use action options without controller?

[mockdeep]

We have situations where we might need to capture an event and stop propagation. Is there any way to use an action option without needing to add a controller? For example, I'm imagining being able to do something like:

<div data-action="click->:stop"></div>

Is this possible?

I don't think this would be possible without a large change the the codebase. Actions are very much tied into the controller instance.

Maybe you could just make a simple controller to help for this case.

class UtilController extends Controller {
  x() {
    // does nothing 
  }
}

Stimulus.register('x', UtilController);

<div data-controller="x" data-action="click->x#x:stop"></div>

A reminder that elements can support multiple controllers by space seperated identifiers.

<input data-controller="x my-widget" data-action="click->x#x:stop focus->my-widget#expand" />
