Do not trigger interaction listener if something “covering” interactive element was clicked

[Minimog]

I made simple recreation available at Codesandbox

In essence following code triggers alert function when I click on a text even though my interaction listener is set on the sprite. I was under impression that pixi handles this case (when element is covered by another), but I guess I was wrong. Is there a way to only fire interaction if I click on sprite explicitly and not on any element that is covering it?

Code

import * as PIXI from "pixi.js";

const application = new PIXI.Application({
  resolution: window.devicePixelRatio,
  autoDensity: true,
  width: window.innerWidth / 1.2,
  height: window.innerHeight / 1.2,
  view: document.getElementById("app"),
  backgroundColor: 0x0000ff
});

const sprite = PIXI.Sprite.from(PIXI.Texture.WHITE);
sprite.width = window.innerWidth / 1.5;
sprite.height = window.innerHeight / 1.5;
sprite.interactive = true;
sprite.addListener("pointertap", () => {
  alert("Click!");
});

const text = new PIXI.Text("Hello World");
text.style = { fontSize: window.innerWidth / 10 };

application.stage.addChild(sprite);
application.stage.addChild(text);

I'm also interested in this. I tried to use the zIndex property and it didn't work.

I applied to de app container sortableChildren true in order to make it work but it was unsuccessful too.

app.stage.sortableChildren=true;

Here you can take a look to the experiment: https://jsfiddle.net/hr04y9jz/

The covering element has to have interaction enabled as well as the other item. Only those that are marked as interactive and whose parents dont have interactivechildren are taken into account when checking interactions.
