How to Disable Area Selection Outside of an Object's ClipPath in Fabric.js?

[turnbrain]

Hello Fabric.js team,

I'm currently working on a project where I need to restrict the area selection to within a specific object that has a clipPath applied. I want to prevent users from being able to select any objects outside of the clipped area.

I have a fabric.Canvas with multiple objects, and I have applied a clipPath to one of the objects. The problem is that when I try to select objects within the canvas, the selection area extends beyond the clipPath boundaries. I want to disable or restrict the selection to only the area that is visible through the clipPath.

If I set perPixelTargetFind to true, it will successfully disables selection when I click directly on the object. However, it does not prevent selection when I start an area selection that begins outside the object but ends over it.

As of today and for the near future the only solution you have is to wrap the object in a group with the clip layout manager and assign the clipPath to the group.

The selection itself it wouln't be an hard fix but all the interaction like scaling could be a pain to make work properly out of the box
