Creates a link that highlights the specified UI element in Google Cloud console when clicked.

You can spotlight an element on the page in one of two ways:

Spotlight/instrumentation ID: Using the spotlightId parameter, specify a DOM element's instrumentation-id or spotlight-id property value to select the element.
CSS selector: For elements without a spotlight or instrumentation ID, use the cssSelector parameter with a CSS selector to select the element.

Only one of these parameters is required. If both are provided, spotlightId is used.

Multiple elements can be selected using a comma as a delimiter. All matching elements are highlighted, with the first focused and scrolled into view.

For spotlights in Cloud Shell Editor, refer to Cloud Shell Editor spotlights .
