docs: listening to lifecycle events

@@ -69,6 +69,104 @@ Like components and props, event names provide an automatic case transformation.
 Unlike native DOM events, component emitted events do **not** bubble. You can only listen to the events emitted by a direct child component. If there is a need to communicate between sibling or deeply nested components, use an external event bus or a [global state management solution](/guide/scaling-up/state-management).

+### Listening to Lifecycle Events {#listening-to-lifecycle-events}
+
+Using a special prefix `vue:` followed by the name of the [Lifecycle Hook](/guide/essentials/lifecycle) allows you to listen to lifecycle events happening inside a child component. 
+
+To demonstrate this feature consider following example:
+
+<div class="composition-api">
+
+```vue{11}
+<!-- App.vue -->
+<script setup>
+import Comp from './Comp.vue'
+
+function onMountedHandler() {
+  console.log("onMounted event captured in parent")
+}
+</script>
+
+<template>
+  <Comp @vue:mounted="onMountedHandler" />
+</template>
+
+<!-- Comp.vue -->
+<script setup>
+import { onMounted } from 'vue'
+
+onMounted(() => {
+  console.log("onMounted hook in child")
+})
+</script>
+
+<template>
+  <div>
+    This is a child component
+  </div>
+</template>
+```
+
+</div>
+<div class="options-api">
+
+
+```vue{18}
+<!-- App.vue -->
+<script>
+import Comp from './Comp.vue'
+
+export default {
+  components: {
+    Comp
+  },
+  methods: {
+    mountedHandler() {
+      console.log("mounted event captured in parent")
+    }
+  }
+}
+</script>
+
+<template>
+  <Comp @vue:mounted="mountedHandler" />
+</template>
+
+<!-- Comp.vue -->
+<script>
+export default {
+  mounted() {
+    console.log("mounted hook in child")
+  }
+}
+</script>
+
+<template>
+  <div>
+    This is a child component
+  </div>
+</template>
+```
+</div>
+
+
+First, the lifecycle event will be handled inside the hook declared in the child component, then it gets propagated into the parent and captured there.

+
+Note that unlike in the example above, you **don't** have to explicitly declare and handle the respective lifecycle hook in the child component.
+
+`<Comp @vue:mounted="onMountedHandler" />` **will** trigger even if there is no explicit <span class="composition-api">`onMounted`</span><span class="options-api">`mounted`</span> handler declared inside `Comp` as the lifecycle is handled by Vue itself.

 ## Event Arguments {#event-arguments}
 
 It's sometimes useful to emit a specific value with an event. For example, we may want the `<BlogPost>` component to be in charge of how much to enlarge the text by. In those cases, we can pass extra arguments to `$emit` to provide this value:
