Fluent Search for Windows has a feature where typing a letter combination can click any element on the screen. I appreciate it for the same reason people like shortcuts.
Fluent Search is a desktop app and this feature is meant to work regardless of which apps are on the screen (browser, Notepad, whatever else) so I think there's a legitimate point here although it might be a niche one not relevant to you.
(I don't know enough about Windows internals to answer with confidence if a better solution is available like examining the OS accessibility tree, but I guess an advantage of Fluent Search's approach is that UIs from toolkits not implementing accessibility standards aren't excluded. The current approach has drawbacks like false positives too though because the ML model isn't 100% accurate.)
