I'm working on a (relatively simple) project - think Figma in terms of interactions - and the hackery is inevitable and immediate when trying to deal with this. A hybrid approach of multiple SVG objects in a HTML tree seems to be working so far, but it's far from pretty.

It was in earlier SVG2 drafts, but was dropped due to the lack of implementation, see here: https://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-SVG2-20150915/render.html#ZInd...
