[MCPE-76144] Empty maps can’t be opened when aiming at a mob

The bug

You are unable to open an empty map while looking at any mob except piglin and piglin brute. It works with both normal and empty locator maps.

How to reproduce:

1. Get an empty map.

2. Look at a mob.
3. Press right click.

What I observed: Nothing happens.
What I expected: The map will be opened.

This bug can be annoying when using a command creation that runs a command when opening a map and then trying to open a map. I made a command machine to make me be able to switch between suvival and creative mode by right clicking an empty map. When using this it prevents me from switching between gamemodes when looking at a mob.

Does it happen with other sorts of maps and other items, e.g a shovel not showing the animation when you right click?

I don't know what you mean with "shovel not showing the animation when you right click?", but yes there are other items that are affected. See the related reports. Happens with books and quills written books, see MCPE-121414 and can happen with every item when interacting with a mob, see MCPE-59065.

On Windows, if you hold down the right button, the map will be created. But the map does not work if you just click on the right button.
