Hi,

I would like to know if the following functionality is planned, for example
from the console, run $$ ("h2") shows me the array of matches. The click
shows me the node information and the hover highlights me on the screen.

I think a functionality in the context menu like 'Locate in Dom Inspector'
would be useful to reach the element within the dom.

Do you know if there is something like this?

Hello,

This is due to the refactor of the web console. There were such feature before but it isn’t done yet in the new one.
The work on the feature is tracked in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1307940 and it shouldn’t be
too long until it is done.

In the meantime, if you really need this feature, you can roll back to the old console by going to about:config, and flipping devtools.webconsole.new-frontend-enabled to false.

What Nicolas said. Also just wanted to note that new frontend is nightly only until we catch up with things like this - here's the tracking bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1308219.
