It would be powerful to have the ability to use a variable in the selectors for elements (example: //a[text()='@Domain'] or //a[text()='@step 8'] )

Selectors now support variables inside expressions so you can do something like
id=@username
The selectors support CSS selectors, Xpaths, and puppeteer expressions

I love what you are saying but a social media automation for this should be made as a template Kyle.. And video explaining them. And please make your video demos as templates. But now..plese explain them.

It should be very very rare you'll need to use this. You would be better off using find by text when possible unless you have a great understanding of selectors and how to construct those.
This is definitely a more technical / advanced feature with some html knowledge likely expected so I dont intend for all users to use this

Haha awesome, thank you!
Drew
Great video, thank you! I was able to use the Find by Text feature with a variable on one site and it worked great. However, there's another site where the same text shows in multiple elements so I'm needing to do more specific selectors; this will help add some needed precision in these types of cases. Thanks again!
