google chrome extension - How to trigger an ‘isTrusted=true’ click event using JavaScript?

Question

I'm trying to impersonate user clicks and mouse movements using a Chrome extension.

For example:
In my content script there is a button click.

document.querySelector("SOME_SELECTOR").click();

This line triggers a click event with the following property:

MouseEvent {isTrusted: false}

How to trigger a MouseEvent where the isTrusted property will be true?

You can inject trusted events using the debugger interface.

chrome.debugger.attach(target, "1.2", function() {
    chrome.debugger.sendCommand(target, "Input.dispatchMouseEvent", arguments)
})
