How to create a checkbox with a clickable label that trigger seperate event and not checkout/in the checkbox [closed]

There is this question about the clickable label,
what I’m trying to find out how to make clickable labels that are not check-in/out the
checkbox, but trigger separate event which effecting the checkbox.

This is the div with the checkboxes and labels:

  <div class="containerSelectBox" id="multi_select">
                <input type="checkbox" /><label id="a1"> This is checkbox </label><br/>
                <input type="checkbox" /><label id="a2"> This is checkbox </label><br/>
                <input type="checkbox" /><label id="a3"> This is checkbox </label><br/>
                <input type="checkbox" /><label  id="a4"> This is checkbox </label><br/>
                <input type="checkbox" /><label  id="a5"> This is checkbox </label><br/>

            </div>

What I like to find is when clicking on each label it will for example alert the id of this label.
I can’t just write onclick on each label I need to attach dynamically to the onclick event trigger.

Try this:

 const labels = document.querySelectorAll("label");
 labels.foreach(label => {
 label.addEventListener("click", event => {

       // PUT HERE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WHEN THE 
      LABEL IS CLICKED
    })
 })
