Puppeteer would currently need both accessible name and role as an input to the query. Would it make sense to include both into this locator?

I believe the plan is to specify a distinct locator for accessible name.

In WebDriver classic we as well have two different commands Get Computed Role and Get Computed Label.

Those are different though: they are for getting the values and not for searching.
I think it'd would be beneficial to have a single locator to search by a11y attributes (so it's easier to extend the list of attributes). Currently, the locators are not composable so the client like Puppeteer would be required to query twice and merge results client-side.

@jugglinmike should I take over this PR? |

I have opened a draft based on this PR #660 (we will discuss it internally first) |
I've referenced the definition of "role" in WAI-ARIA because that's how WebDriver explains the computation of a role given an element, but computedrole from CORE-AAM seems more appropriate.
