Maybe it would be best to add a reference to the native event API (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Event).

@MatanBobi I think that this citation is more for users of the testing library, I'm not sure that in the native API you would even need to change the timestamp in the first place

Oh yeah, I agree with you.. But since not all testing library users will be 100% familiar with the event API, I suggested to add a link to it.

| // Therefore, native properties of HTMLEvent object (e.g. `timeStamp`) should be set using Object.defineProperty |

I'd probably also add that only some properties need to be changed using Object.defineProperty as there are no setters in the native implementation.

@MatanBobi that's why I said "native" properties, but I'm honestly not exactly sure about the exact list

Everything in this page which has Read only on it can't be changed without using Object.defineProperty :)
I don't mean to add a list, maybe just some examples. As all properties are the native properties.
