I would prefer attached properties and signals. Similarly to Keys.onPressed. Attaching onTapped from the outside of a component would be similar to overriding an event handler in C++. There would be a single attached object instance with multiple signal handlers. They objects would not be piling up like FooAreas and BarHandlers do.
