   We were actually having a discussion within #333 about allowing user specified locator strategies. Just curious what type of element are you trying to locate that is already satisfied by the current strategies?

   I want to locate using ExtJs' component query (see the this link above. What I have in mind is basically a javascript locator. Already working on a PR.

   It's pretty much exactly what's implemented in the Java version I linked to.

   Looking at that example what I see is this is a javascript locator. Just wandering if there is other locator type that we can implement with a very similar keyword/argument syntax that is not javascript based. The reason I ask is to see if we need to add an argument that states which method the locator code implements. Something like

   Open Page
     # 'Add Location Strategy'  | strategy name | strategy method |  stategy implementation "code" 
     Add Location Strategy extJs  javascript return window.document.getElementById((Ext.ComponentQuery.query(arguments[0])[0]).getId());
   

   Better to add it now then trying to patch in later.

   Well, I suppose that's entirely possible. You could just provide it with a python function to run. It wouldn't be all doable from within RF, but I feel like this is somewhat of a special case anyway so I think that'd be acceptable.

   Edit: After thinking about it a bit I've got a pretty good idea of how we can implement general, reusable solution. I'll get back to you when I have a basic implementation done.
