Yes, one can use a programmatic solution to execute a series of operations on selectors using playwright. A typical workflow would involve creating a Playwright instance, launching a browser, navigating to a webpage, and then executing a series of operations on the page using selector queries. Here is an example code snippet in TypeScript:

import { chromium } from 'playwright';

async function run() {
  const browser = await chromium.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto('https://www.example.com');

  // Perform some operations on selectors
  const element = await page.$('h1');
  const text = await element.innerText();

  console.log(text); // print the inner text of the `h1` element

  await browser.close();
}

run();

In this example, we launch a Chromium browser, navigate to example.com, query for the h1 element, and print its inner text value. There are many other functions available in Playwright to perform actions on selectors, such as click, type, waitForSelector, etc.
