everything is possible but threejs does not have an event layer, pointer events, nothing like that exists. all you can do is shoot a ray through the scene and pick up the objects that were hit, which is the basis for something like pointer events, but this stuff gets madly complex

here's a mini event layer in vanilla with click and pointer over/out https://codesandbox.io/s/basic-threejs-example-with-re-use-dsrvn but the question is if that's even feasible to continue because 95% of the code and effort will stupidly revolve around pointers and bubbling, not your star system.
pair threejs with react and you can write your project under 5-10 minutes. https://codesandbox.io/s/basic-demo-rrppl0y8l4

I guess, I'll do that at last
I sadly only have minor programming skills, so I guess I'll have to dig me into this

threejs journey is a good entrance if you can afford it
but whatever you do, with vanilla most of the code you'll write has nothing to do with three, it's mostly boilerplate that you will repeat over and over again, re-inventing the wheel. it's not fun having an idea and being blocked by silly monkey work, like dom event bubbling 😛

In the docs there is a "EventDispatcher", wouldnt this be useful or Am I misunderstanding it?
tawdry horizon
no, its just pubsub subscriber
it can fire arbitrary events, orbitcontrols for instance fires "start" "end" and so on, but it has nothing to do with dom pointer events

Ah! So it's more for like backend stuff?
I'll look up some tuts on react and threejs and if it's okay for you, I would let you know if I'm struggeling somewhere
tawdry horizon
it is just a subscription mechanism for arbitrary events of any kind. any class can use or implement it and shoot random events

In here, you have a parameter "e" on some methods what does it do?
