I understand your point, but it creates drastic performance difference, it clicks the link after 2 to 3 minutes. Direct selenium link locator clicks the link instantly. After wrapped in link() method, it clicks in 30 seconds(approximately). But my question, what other other element visible text matter? buttons? Or what else? Link is the only thing which usually uses text to locate the element, that's the common notion, for button we always preferred to use value locator.
