+Introduce `bypassActivationConstraint()` option for `PointerSensor`, `MouseSensor` and `TouchSensor`. This optional argument can be used to conditionally bypass activation constraints. An example use-case would be to bypass activation constraints when the activator event target is the `activatorNode` of a draggable source.
+
+```tsx
+useSensor(PointerSensor, {
+  activationConstraint: {
+    delay: 250,
+    tolerance: 5,
+  },
+  bypassActivationConstraint({event, activeNode}) {
+    return activeNode.activatorNode.current?.contains(event.target);
+  },
+});
+```
