we can easily simulate a double click with a single click by handling the click events and implementing a logic to detect the double click. Here’s a simple example using Angular:

//our-component.component.ts

import { Component, HostListener } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-your-component',
  template: `
    <button (click)="handleClick($event)">Click me</button>
  `,
  styles: []
})
export class YourComponent {

  private lastClickTime: number = 0;

  @HostListener('click', ['$event'])
  handleClick(event: MouseEvent): void {
    const currentTime = new Date().getTime();
    const timeDifference = currentTime - this.lastClickTime;

    if (timeDifference < 300) { // Adjust this threshold as needed
      this.handleDoubleClick();
    } else {
      this.handleSingleClick();
    }

    this.lastClickTime = currentTime;
  }

  handleSingleClick(): void {
    console.log('Single click');
    // here, we add our single click logic
  }

  handleDoubleClick(): void {
    console.log('Double click');
    // We add our double click logic here
  }
}

In this example, the handleClick method is called on every click. It calculates the time difference between the current click and the last click. If the time difference is below a certain threshold (here, 300 milliseconds), it is considered a double click, and handleDoubleClick is called. Otherwise, it is considered a single click, and handleSingleClick is called.
