Child elements also trigger previews

Follow up to
Iefe98c1f0422dbf034e385b1a41a859d030a2cf4 where we switched from the
jquery event delegation pattern to native methods. One thing that we
overlooked was that we also need to consider the case where the selector
matches the parent of an element, for example a span nested inside an
eligible link. I've rethought this logic, to first find the closest
eligible element to normalize the element passed to model methods
before running matchesSelector.
