This is kind of a strange technical bug, but `clickOutside()` doesn’t trigger if the widget you click (outside) has a `click()` hook.
Reproduction:
1. Open “Post Admin” menu
2. Click “Like” or “Link” button
3. “Post Admin” menu doesn’t disappear
What I Expect:
1. Open “Post Admin” menu
2. Click “Like” or “Link” button
3. “Post Admin” menu disappears
I should add that this “expected” behavior is also the behavior when clicking noninteractive elements outside the menu.
The code is likely [this early return](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/8f4bc2228fd5def7a4190222b0ae993a384791d9/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/widgets/click-hook.js.es6#L45) in the WidgetClickHook, which will trigger for any widget with a click handler, preventing it from reaching the handling for `clickOutside` below. This should probably trigger `clickOutside` on any widgets which aren’t the widget that you triggered `click` on or its ancestors, instead.
