The easiest way to accomplish this goal is to wrap the object tag in a div, bind the click listener to the div, and add pointer-events: none
to the object tag’s styles.
Sample fiddle:
.clickable {
background: red;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
border-radius: 100px;
overflow: hidden;
}
object {
width: 100%;
pointer-events: none;
}
<div class="clickable" onclick='alert("WOW")'>
<object type="image/svg+xml" data="https://douglasduhaime.com/assets/images/icons/home.svg" />
</div>
