Description
I tried to find an existing ticket for this, but I couldn’t. I think someone might have brought it up on the gitter chat at some point.
I am looking for a way to reference an element directly in a helper function. This is a somewhat crude example of what I am looking for:

If there is already a way to do feel free to close this ticket.
My use case is I have a dynamic tooltip-like component that I want to dynamically position, but I want to offset the left position by half of the width of the element (the width is dynamic). I can pretty easily achieve this using window.getComputedStyle(document.querySelector('.tooltip'))
or something like that, but would be nice to be able to reference the element directly.
