No, Selectorshub primarily focuses on creating and managing CSS and XPath selectors for web elements. It doesn’t offer built-in features for directly handling pop-up windows, iframes, or other complex elements. Handling such elements often requires additional coding and scripting using tools like JavaScript or web automation frameworks.
