How to handle onClick events in MDBVectorMap? I can see the click events API in documentation of Angular, Vue and StandardJS but not in React.

Hello, When I add an EventListener on MDBVectorMap, if disable the standard color change on click event. I thought the listener would add an action instead of replacing. When I add my eventListener, the selected area is not colored anymore.
  const ref = useRef(null);
  useEffect(() => {
      const handleClick = (event) => {
          setSelectedRegion(event.target?.id);
          console.log("Button clicked", event.target?.id);
      };
    const element = ref.current;
    element.addEventListener("click", handleClick);
    return () => {
          element.removeEventListener("click", handleClick);
    };
    }, []); 
    return (
          <MDBVectorMap
          mapRef={ ref }
          hoverFill="#0793B4"
          selectFill="#86b24e"
          fill="#FFFFFF"
          style={{ backgroundColor: "#bbdefb" }}
          hover={false} 
          zoomEvents={false}
          selectRegion={selectedRegion} />);

Hi!
For now - you have to use JavaScript to select the items and append an addEventListener to them, sorry about that. We will add the onSelect event as soon as possible :)
Keep coding!
