I know that client javascript can get the hierarchical id of an element with (for example) '#{id:someId}'.
Is there a similar way to get an element's name?

I tried using '#{name:someName}' but that doesn't work. It produces an error like:

name:someName
Encountered ": someName }", expected one of ["}", ".", ">", "gt", "<", "lt", "==", "eq", "<=", "le", ">=", "ge", "!=", "ne", "[", "+", "-", "*", "/", "div", "%", "mod", "and", "&&", "or", "||", ":", , "(", "?"]
Encountered ": someName }" at line 1, column 7. Was expecting one of: "}" ... "." ... ">" ... "gt" ... "<" ... "lt" ... "==" ... "eq" ... "<=" ... "le" ... ">=" ... "ge" ... "!=" ... "ne" ... "[" ... "+" ... "-" ... "*" ... "/" ... "div" ... "%" ... "mod" ... "and" ... "&&" ... "or" ... "||" ... ":" "(" ... "?" ...
