Remove All Event Listeners of Specific Type

by

I want to remove all event listeners of a specific type that were added using addEventListener(). All the resources I’m seeing are saying you need to do this:

elem.addEventListener('mousedown',specific_function);
elem.removeEventListener('mousedown',specific_function);

But I want to be able to clear it without knowing what it is currently, like this:

elem.addEventListener('mousedown',specific_function);
elem.removeEventListener('mousedown');
