SelectorElementAttribute fails to return attribute value of the element selected with SelectorElement

How to?
#1

Problem.
The challenge is that i need to get attribute value from element which i'm selecting with SelectorElement ().
But SelectorElementAttribute ignores the element itself. It just checks child elements.

I would consider selecting parent element with SelectorElement. But the problem is there's no parent element.

In other words I would like to get: comment text, comment author, comment id, parent comment id, upvotes. The problem is with comment id, parent comment id. They are attributes of

If it's a bug, maybe someone can advise a workaround? Thank you.
