Can I reveal a HTML element in Chrome with javascript?

Question

If you in Chrome workspace javascript Console do

document.querySelector("#some-id")

the element with this id will be shown in the console. You can then right-click on it to reveal it in the Elements tab. Can I reveal it in the Elements tab with javascript instead?

Yes, use the inspect method.

inspect(document.querySelector("#some-id"));
