Is Multitouch with touchscreen possible on wayland?

Hello,
i have installed arch linux on a HP Elite X2 G4 and everything works fine besides multitouch for the touchscreen.
Currently the touchscreen just functions like a mouse input device with single click. So clicking and scrolling works fine but for example pinch to zoom in the Browser or in any other application is not working.
The mouse cursor just jumps around between both touched positions, i guess because it just acts like separate single clicks.

Multitouch on the Touchpad is working but would be much better if i could use it also on the touchscreen...

Currently running KDE Plasma under wayland.

Hello,

It seems there could be some useful information upstream, e.g. https://discuss.kde.org/search?q=touchscreen or https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?quicks … ouchscreen
