Hello,  
Is there a way to detect when a widget is overlapping another one ? I would like a widget to know (and “who”) when a second one is displayed on top of it.

Thanks !

Did you figure this out? I’m trying to make a hand like UI Image controlled by KienctV2 as a mouse to hover and click on other widgets
