cycle.js - is there a way to implement event handlers like in React?

I recently ran into Cycle.js, and, except for what I'm about to ask, I like the framework. Is there a way to implement event handlers directly on the DOM helper? Something like:

function main(sources) {
    //...
    const clickEvent$ = xstream.createSubject() // not a real function, I think
    const counter$ = clickEvent$.fold((counter, amount) => counter + amount, 0)
    const vdom$ = counter$.map(counter => div([
        p(['Counter: ', count]),
        button({
            on: { click: () => clickEvent$.emit(1) }
        },'+'),
        button({
            on: { click: () => clickEvent$.emit(-1) }
        },'-'),
    ]))
    //...
    return sinks
}

Or is a feature like React's event handlers being planned?

I know that the example is not (yet) possible, but if something like that gets implemented, component isolation would be a lot easier, and React devs could have minimal issues with using Cycle.js.

No, it is neither supported nor ever planned to be added. The whole point of the dom driver is to provide a declarative, stream based abstraction, not imperative onclick handlers
