Hello! I noticed that if you place an element on top of MapView, you can’t register touch events because they get swallowed by the MapView. Is there a way to fix this?

```auto
<App Background="Black">
  <NativeViewHost Width="100%" Height="100%">
    <Panel>
      <Image File="close.png" Width="70" Height="70">
        <Clicked>
          <DebugAction Message="Click!" />
        </Clicked>
      </Image>
      <MapView Latitude="59.911567" Longitude="10.741030" Zoom="10" />
    </Panel>
  </NativeViewHost>
</App>

```

This is a known issue, and [here’s a workaround](https://www.fusetools.com/community/forums/bug_reports/getting_click_events_from_element_on_top_of_map_vi?page=1&highlight=bef4dc31-afd1-4961-a21a-723e52607111#post-bef4dc31-afd1-4961-a21a-723e52607111).
