switchChainToNext() on $target event

[iamdanfox]

I feel your pain on the verbosity point - it's something I encountered too (although I wasn't using Angular). I'm concerned that the extra event properties might make the code less readable, especially when there are multiple handlers/events.

I like the idea of some way of binding handlers that automatically unbinds when hiding the anno though. Perhaps the default behaviour of onHide should be to try some unbind method of the returned object(s) - almost like an event dispatcher.

We could then write some shorthand to construct the appropriate undoable handler object:

    target: "#attribute-common-class"
    content: "Click the <code>tag token</code> below to continue"
    buttons: []
    onShow: (anno, $target, $annoElem) ->
        return new AnnoHandler(".tags_token", "mouseup", -> 
            setTimeout (-> anno.switchToChainNext()), 10
        )
    #onHide would automatically call the annoHandler.unbind()

This could foreseeably work with multiple handlers:

    target: "#attribute-common-class"
    content: "Click the <code>tag token</code> below to continue"
    buttons: []
    onShow: (anno, $target, $annoElem) ->
        [new AnnoHandler(".tags_token", "mouseup", -> 
            setTimeout (-> anno.switchToChainNext()), 10
        ), new AnnoHandler(".something_else", "click", ->
            setTimeout (-> anno.switchTo(someOtherTour)), 10  #slightly contrived
        )]
    #onHide would automatically call annoHandler.unbind() for each in the list.
