"window" and "e.target" have type issues

[akaFTS]

Two very common use cases in React are reporting type issues on Aleph/Deno. The first one is window.open:

  window.open("https://github.com/akaFTS/bcc-data", "_blank");

Property 'open' does not exist on type 'Window & typeof globalThis'.deno-ts(2339)

And the other one is "e.target.value" when handling uncontrolled inputs:

onChange={(e) => setInput(e.target.value)}

Property 'value' does not exist on type 'EventTarget & HTMLInputElement'.deno-ts(2339)

Not sure if those issues are related to Aleph or Deno itself, but I couldn't find any solutions online.

Wouldn't it make sense to add those flags to the tsconfig file inside Aleph? Stuff like reading input values using e.target.value are very common in React, so perhaps Aleph should handle appropriate typing for those.

i added the config in 7ec39d8

Adding a deno.json doesn't do anything unless the --config flag is passed to the deno executable (which I assume needs to happen within aleph).
