Active point below a graphic element

Hi @responsiva, I tried and yes that's true. Let me explain with an example: I created a button with a hover state, I placed a semi transparent rectangle over it with 90% opacity (which is a static/inactive element as you said) when I hover over the rectangle, even though it's above the button, I can see the button's hover color change still occurs. Then I come up with a workaround like this: I made the static/inactive element a component and added it a hover state (don't forget to go back to its default state while viewing the prototype) without doing any other changes, the button stays as it is like it should behave.

You can see the prototype here: https://xd.adobe.com/view/d44e36ff-70ec-4eef-ac13-fce081bd2dfc-811d/?hints=off

Hope this helps!
