What about wp_pointer_warp_v1? That should be supported in some compositors. But not sure how to actually "send" the click event.

I often try a session with Labwc/LxQt instead of my Openbox/LxQt, and while there is progress, still not fully usable, so still no Wayland for me. But with X11, I can at least add xvfb, xdotool, and other utils, and AI has no problem writing (and testing) a GUI for me.

Oh wp_pointer_warp_v1 works fine when you want to move the cursor that is not a problem. One application can simply say move the mouse to a different window but it cannot say click.

So in the sense as far as I understand it is that in wayland one application is not allowed to use the input of IO devices to interact with other applications.

So, "security" strikes again. Windows shell not be moved, pointers shell not be clicked, but you can move the mouse if you want to.
