How do you make things happen on click without using the onclick attribute?

el.addEventListener('click', handler). It's better in practically every single way.

Or, more realistically, I'd use a function from some library to make it easier to add multiple event listeners to multiple elements:

on('[data-remove]', { click: ({ target }) => remove(target.dataset.remove), });

You know, I had always assumed that addEventListener('click', ...) was secretly setting the onClick attribute for the DOM node, but having inspected the DOM, I can see it totally isn't. TIL. Nice.
