Is it possible to make a reference to a html element by a string (preferably a query selector), i made a mouse tracker which should add the target element, but if you reload the page it should still be able to find the same element. i tried going with event.composedPath() and event.target, But both dont seem to work

the string will be saved in a json file

    If the element has an ID, you can just use '#' + element.id Commented Mar 28, 2024 at 19:29
