+### The element type in an event handler becomes broader
+
+semver bump: **major**
+
+This is a breaking change due to how extracted event handlers need to be typed.
+Consider the following example:
+
+```tsx
+function ExampleComponent() {
+  return (
+    <Item
+      onSelect={event => {
+        //
+      }}
+    />
+  )
+}
+```
+
+When the `onSelect` handler is provided inline, the type is inferred and does
+not need to be explicitly defined. However, when this handler is pulled out then
+the type is defined:
+
+```tsx
+function ExampleComponent() {
+  function onSelect(event: React.MouseEvent<HTMLDivElement>) {
+    //
+  }
+
+  return <Item onSelect={onSelect} />
+}
+```
+
+This situation is what will cause a breaking change if we change the base
+element type of this event handler. For example, if we update the props of
+`Item` to be the following:
+
+```diff
+interface ItemProps {
+-  onSelect(event: React.MouseEvent<HTMLDivElement>): void;
++  onSelect(event: React.MouseEvent<HTMLElement>): void;
+}
+```
+
+Then the downstream consumers that have typed `onSelect` will now have a
+TypeScript error since `HTMLDivElement` does not fully overlap with `HTMLElement`.
+
+When choosing to expose event handler types, consider what the minimum type is
+that will satisfy the requirements by callers. Additionally, when typing
+handlers of components it is recommended to use the type from the component
+props directly. For example:
+
+```tsx
+function ExampleComponent() {
+  const onSelect: ItemProps['onSelect'] = event => {
+    //
+  }
+
+  return <Item onSelect={onSelect} />
+}
+```
