Should AlertDialog have onInteractionOutside?

[franciscohanna92]

Hello!

I was wondering if it would make sense to have an onInteractionOutside callback on AlertDialog's Content element just like the one in Dialog's Content. I assume this is a design decision and in case it doesn't make sense I would like the reasoning behind it.

Regards.

It doesn't currently have onInteractOutside because it doesn't have onPointerDownOutside.
onInteractOutside is a combination of both onPointerDownOutside and onEscapeKeydown.

Currently AlertDialog only has onEscapeKeydown which arguably, perhaps we should remove.
The thinking behind this is that AlertDialog is for critical use input and so it should require an actual action from the user via one of the buttons, rather than soft dismissal.
