Widget APL Touch Component Advice

Question

I’m trying to create an APL document (for an Alexa widget) that contains a background image, several text components, and a footer action button.  I would like for the user to be able to touch anywhere on the widget (outside of the footer action button) to open the corresponding Alexa skill.  I added a VectorGraphic with a width and height, each with a value of 100%.  When I touch anywhere outside of the text components, I receive the “onPress” event.  But when I touch on the text components, I don’t receive the “onPress” event.  Do I need to wrap each of the text components in a TouchWrapper?  Or, is there a better way to achieve what I’m after.  I’ve included a mockup of my APL document below.  Thanks in advance!
