Can you target an elements parent element using event.target?

by

I think what you need is to use the event.currentTarget. This will contain the element that actually has the event listener. So if the whole <section> has the eventlistener event.target will be the clicked element, the <section> will be in event.currentTarget.

Otherwise parentNode might be what you’re looking for.
