    Try using FindAll Method to search for "Link". For example,

    function MenuItems()
{
    var menuitems = Aliases.panelMainMenu.FindAll("ObjectType", "Link", 1);
    for (var i = 0; i < menuitems.length; i++) {
        Log.Message(menuitems[i].Name);
    }
}

    This will output the Link name.

     

    You can then perform menuitems[i].Click() if the menuitem equals what you want.

We can select the text of a span on click with Selenium webdriver. To identify the element with span tag, we have to first identify it with any of the locators like xpath, css, class name or tagname. After identification of the element, we can perform the click operation on it with the help of the click method.
