title: Is it possible to trigger HTML5 video playback with an event?
body: <p>I know you can listen to events coming from the video, but it it possible to attach event to some element which is not the video, and it will trigger the playback?</p>
  
  <p>I am looking for a simple solution for a custom "play" button over a video, on a mobile device, that will hide the native player's "play" button</p>
