Is it possible to programmatically catch all events on the page in the browser?

/*

function getAllEventTypes(){

  if(location.href !='https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events') return;

  var types = {};
  $('.standard-table:eq(0) tr').find('td:eq(1)').map(function(){
    var type = $.trim(this.innerText) || 'OtherEvent';
    types[type] = types[type] || [];     
    var event = $.trim(this.previousElementSibling.innerText);
    if(event) types[type].push(event);
  });
  for(var t in types) types[t] = types[t].join(' ');
  return "var DOMEvents = "+JSON.stringify(types, null, 4).replace(/"(\w+)\":/ig, '$1:');
}
