Click Target
Find a UI element on the desktop (name, type, automation id, class) or in the browser (CSS, XPath, visible text), or by coordinate, then click it. The Locator Engine picks the best strategy automatically and heals to a fallback when the primary one fails. Give a Browser Variable to target the open browser.
