pinch events return local position, not world position
Description: The documentation says pinchstarted returns World coordinates but if one parents the camera and hands to a "rig", to e.g teleport, the event will return local coordinates, relative to the "rig" rather than world coordinates.
- A-Frame Version: 1.3
- Platform / Device: Quest 2

How to test :
display event.detail.position from pinchstarted with and without a parent to hands, the result will be the same whereas it "should", at least according to my understand of the documentation, return different results if the parent entity has a position different from the origin.
The position passed through the event is just the one reported through the hand tracking API and based on the reference space parameter

It make sense to me to change probably the doc to mention they are in the local reference space of the player. But not 100% sure.
