Select text behind stretched links?

[caub]

Is it possible to still allow selecting text when using stretched links? (the text covered by the stretched-link)

instead of a stretched link, if we actually wrap content in a <a>, and add CSS rule user-select: text and draggable="false" on the element, then it works, text is selectable, but such a trick doesn't work with stretched-links ::after pseudo element

Any idea?
