Second, bypassing the selection problem by executing a custom JS script in order to return the nested elements results in "stale element reference" error upon usage of the acquired reference. This could be solved if a switch to an object's contentDocument context was possible. My use case in my application for embedding an SVG via <object> is that I can quickly replace it by setting the data URI while maintaining access to its contents via contentDocument.
