Have you tried playing with
*pickOnBounds<http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/Node.html#pickOnBoundsProperty>

I've never used it but based on previous discussions in this list it might
do something along the lines of what you need?

Probably more of a forum question though (so others can find the answer
next time).

Also for SVG check out:
