I would like to find an interaction in Javascript that only a human can do, but javascript can track it if the user has done it.
Something like an only readable event but not writable.

You could use mouse-driven CSS pseudoclasses; I don’t believe they can be triggered using Javascript: see Trigger css hover with JS for a little more information.
If you set some style aspect on the hover, for example, you might be able to detect that using javascript.
I don’t know how well this approach would work cross-browser however, and you might need to use a visible element.
