Description

Hi. I'm the author of [swc](https://github.com/swc-project/swc/issues/new) and I'm considering switching from neon to node-bindgen.

Can I store js function on struct and call it from other threads?
Neon supports it via `EventHandler`.

Also, I need to wait for js promises to be resolved from rust code. Is it possible?

If these features are on the roadmap, please let me know.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are mentioned. Start by reviewing node-bindgen's Rust and Node.js APIs and the existing Neon EventHandler comparison; done means determining whether cross-thread JavaScript callbacks and awaiting JavaScript promises are supported or need roadmap work.
