Selecting outside base from inside module/page

How can I select elements relative to e.g. the DOM root inside a module with a base defined? For example, the popular select2 library generates <input> elements as children of <body> which are linked to the actual input controls in the HTML by auto-generated id's. So it could look something like this (angular pseudocode)

<body>

<div>

<..>

<button>Dropdown</button>

</select2Control>

</..>

</div>

</body>

In this case the Geb module for the select2 control is based to "ctrl1" (since everything but the input interactions happen inside the control), but since the input is below <body> I have to break out of the "basing" to interact with it.

I'm not sure this is the best way, but I have been passing in the root Navigator instance when I create the module. I can then use that for content definitions that are outside of the module's base.

Since Module is a Navigator, you should be able to do this just as you would with any other Navigator (using closest() or parents(), etc. to move back up the DOM hierarchy).

Yeah, just use closest("body").
