Paper.js: hitTest for obstructed items with mouse event?

Question

I have two items one on the other, that is, one blocking the other. Say Item2 is blocked by Item1. Now whenever I use

project.hitTest(Item2);

It works fine.

But the problem occurs when I use mouse's event.point. When I use

project.hitTest(event.point);

in

function onMouseUp(event){} 

it only detects the item on top. Is is possible to detect all the items?

Maybe this will help you:
http://paperjs.org/reference/item/#contains-point

var path = new Path.Star({
center: [50, 50],
points: 12,
radius1: 20,
radius2: 40,
fillColor: 'black'
});

// Whenever the user presses the mouse:
function onMouseDown(event) {
// If the position of the mouse is within the path,
// set its fill color to red, otherwise set it to
// black:
if (path.contains(event.point)) {
    path.fillColor = 'red';
} else {
    path.fillColor = 'black';
}
}

It's not the best solution, because you have to loop through all your paths, but I don't know a better solution right now.
