Many UIs hide a semantic element (e.g. <input type="checkbox">) behind a styled wrapper users actually click. Momentic’s AI chooses elements from the accessibility tree, but Playwright needs to click the visible, interactive element. Global locator redirect bridges the two.

​
How it works

Momentic hit-tests points inside the original element’s bounds to find the topmost visible, interactive element. If the original element is visible, it’s used as-is. Otherwise, Momentic picks the most-overlapping nearby element whose DOM position and bounding box look similar, ensuring it doesn’t accidentally redirect to an unrelated overlay.
