Of course, would be nice if it was always like that :) I'll take again the example with my page transition. For performance and bandwidth purposes (the component have a video inside) I add this component inside my _app.js (I use Next.js for SSR). So I want that every time a user click an intern link (<Link as={'/route/page'} href={'/page?slug=${this.props.slug}'}>), the transition start, when first part of transition is finished, do a route change, after route change, play second part of transition.

Since can be used everywhere in my website, I can't elevate it as I want. And I don't want to deal with callbacks. This is why I need an event bus to notify my page transition when a link was clicked somewhere in the page, and pass it the necessary data.

This is the simplest way I found. But I'm open to any suggestions as I'm not a React expert

Ok, I got your situation. I feel like there is a good solution for it with a library with declarative animations, but I can't be sure, because I haven't done it.
