Description

Hi,I am a new learner to be here to learn how to use facebook-wda. Now I met a problem. The problem is when i use "elements =s(text='Dashboard').find_elements()" to get "Array of Element object",But i use "elements[0]" to call click() method like this "elements[0].click()". Because it's Element object. But we can use "element=s(type="Dashboard", textContains="房间")[0]" to call click() method like this "element.click()". Because it's Selector object. How to convert wda.Element Object to wda.Selector Object each other?

Research direction
Investigate the facebook wda codebase to understand the relationship between Element and Selector classes. Look for existing methods or patterns to convert an Element back to a Selector. Check the documentation and previous issues for any guidance. If no direct conversion exists, consider proposing a documentation update to clarify the usage or add a helper method.
