... because medium sets up a capturing event listener on document.body. So we need to set one up too, either on document (slight possibility of races), or on the outside chrome.

Disregard the above. While setting up a capturing listener high up in the tree would still be nice, the failure on medium has another cause: cancelling mousedown doesn't prevent click events from being sent.
