that's the whole vibe. one function, one pointer, one dream 🦋

so what does this function do? it enables the mouse hotspot property on a given cursor plane. periodt. 🫶

but like — if you're sitting there wondering "okay but what even are hotspot properties, bestie?" — the docs literally say to go look at the documentation for hotspot properties to get a better understanding of what they're used for. so like, do that. iykyk 💅
