[💡 Feature]: Introduce a new interface to query elements about webdriverio HOT 4 OPEN

You can find a similar interface by using https://testing-library.com/docs/webdriverio-testing-library/intro/.

from webdriverio.

Do these query functions require a differentiation between: fetch 1 single element and fetch multiple elements?

How should user access these interfaces? You example currently has no indication for this. Do people import it from webdriverio, e.g. import { getByRole } from 'webdriverio'. I would personally not prefer this approach and rather connect it somehow to our already existing primitives, e.g. $ and $$. Something I could imagine would be attaching these functions to the function object, e.g. $.byRole('button') and $$.byRole('button'). Wdyt?

@stevegibson This was already mentioned in the description regarding familiarity (PW = Playwright and TL = Testing Library)

@christian-bromann adding it to the browser or $ (and $$) primitives seems fine to me 👍

@erwinheitzman thoughts?

Not to browser, just to $ and $$ (latter depends on your answer for question above). I think we could do this for all selectors we have.
