/**
 * Allows you to automatically bind an event listener to newly added
 * elements that match a specific selector within a given root element.
 * Track dom update to rebind event listeners automatically.
 *
 * @param {HTMLElement} root - The root element to observe for changes.
 * @param {string} targetSelector - Query selector matching elements that you want to bind the event listener to.
 * @param {K} type - Type of event listener to bind (same as for addEventListener).
 * @param listener - Event listener to bind (same as for addEventListener).
 * @param {boolean | AddEventListenerOptions} [options] - Event listener options (same as for addEventListener).
 * @returns the used observer to allow disconnect.
