To achieve this add the event handler to the document and interrogate the target property of the event that's passed to the handler to determine which element raised the event.

$(document).on('click', e => {
  let clickedElement = e.target;
  if ($(clickedElement).is('.menu-options-label')) {
    console.log('clicked element');
  } else {
    console.log('clicked somewhere else');
  }
});
