Have Page subclasses to hold site-wide element locators and methods about behatpageobjectextension

@mgiagante I think is not something constrained to PHP concepts (like namespace).
AFAIK underlying mechanism works by perfoming a DOM search in the "current" page.
If you have some elements that you use inside other elements, the search will be performed by "chaining" the selectors in order to query the DOM.
To use the custom element inside the page, just follow the link and see the example.

I suppose you could take advantage of custom elements for this kind of scenarios.

Thanks @DonCallisto .
Looking at the documentation for custom elements

https://behat-page-object-extension.readthedocs.io/en/stable/guide/working_with_elements.html#custom-elements

it seems like a custom element is used by the page that contains it, but I can't find exactly how (namespacing, use, etc.).

If I could write custom element classes and use them across pages, that'd be what I'm looking for.

Is this possible?

Thank you!
