    You CAN do a POM, but the code is going to probably be more complicated than you want.  NameMapping is what is basically the replacement for POM in Silenium.  All your main actions (click, keys, etc) are on the Alias objects themselves so you don't need, really, to create classes for each of the different objects.  You just need to use NameMapping or one of those other methods that I suggested for building your objects.
