UseObservedElementDescription

Observed elements are a way to assign a name to an element that is not a HTML id which can be used for focusing. Observed elements are powered by tabster and can be used for deterministic focusing as each element can support multiple observed names.

Observed elements can also be used to focus asynchronously. Any focus attempts will be retried until a configurable timeout is reached. This can be useful for loading or virtualization scenarios where the element to be focused might not yet exist in DOM.

The useObservedElement hook assigns a name to an element and should be used alongside useFocusObserved that will actually return the imperative method to focus the element.
