Description

Hey all,

I recently ran into an issue where I wanted to add two-finger pinch/zoom to a webassembly-compiled Bevy app I was building.

However it looks like magnify and rotate gesture recognition is currently limited to MacOS (#2157).

I'm not too familiar with Winit's internals, but I'd be interested in adding a webassembly implementation to support these gesture events if possible.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by reading the existing macOS gesture support referenced in #2157 and the web event-handling path. Determine whether web touchpad magnify and rotate events can be represented by Winit, then verify that WebAssembly builds expose those gesture events.
