Preload: stopping event propagation when priming a cache?

[meln1k]

I have a spinner overlay which is triggered via htmx:beforeRequest and htmx:afterRequest events, and when I use the preload extension with hx-get, the "cache priming" request sends those events and this triggers the overlay (which is undesirable since it happens on mouseover).

Shouldn't those events be caught and prevented from propagation (to keep the cache priming side-effects free)?
