useNavigationEvent to react to user intentions

[stevecrozz]

It is already possible to work around the lack of navigation events for the case when we are interested in location changes using useEffect+useLocation. But when we are interested in all navigation events, including navigations that do not change the location, we don't have any good tools.

I would like to see a new useNavigationEvent hook to observe navigation events of all kinds. Any calls to navigator.push or navigator.replace should trigger an event. This way a user could click on a nav link and we could monitor that event in order to respond even when that event does not trigger an actual route change.

useNavigationEvent((event: NavigationEvent) => {
  // called whenever there was a navigator.push or navigator.replace
});
