Here is a nice solution. by using the touchstart and touchend events you can measure the distance between the 2 points and fire a click event if the events where close (in terms of pixels). read my comments.

    class ScrollToClick {

        constructor(elem, maxDistance = 20) {

            this.elem = elem;

            this.start = null;

            this.maxDistance = maxDistance;



            // Bind the touches event to the element

            this.bindTouchEvents();

        }



        bindTouchEvents() {

            this.elem.addEventListener('touchstart', this.onTouchStart.bind(this), false);

            this.elem.addEventListener('touchend', this.onTouchEnd.bind(this), false);

        }



        onTouchStart(e) {

            // hold the touch start position

            this.start = e.touches[0];



            // clear the position after 2000 mil (could be set for less).

            setTimeout(() => { this.start = null; }, 2000);

        }



        onTouchEnd(e) {

            // if the timeout was called, there will be no start position

            if (!this.start) { return; }



            // calculate the distance between start and end position

            const end = e.changedTouches[0],

                dx = Math.pow(this.start.pageX - end.pageX, 2),

                dy = Math.pow(this.start.pageY - end.pageY, 2),

                distance = Math.round(Math.sqrt(dx + dy));



            // if the distance is fairly small, fire

            // a click event. (default is 20 but you can override it through the constructor)

            if (distance <= this.maxDistance) {

                this.elem.click();

            }



            // clear the start position again

            this.start = null;

        }

    }

Then you can use it with any element like so:

// use any element you wish (here I'm using the body)

const elem = document.body;



// initialize the class with the given element

new ScrollToClick(elem);



// listen to a click event on this element.

elem.addEventListener('click', (e) => {

    console.log('Clicked');

})
