When an element is stale WebdriverIO will attempt to refetch it when a command is run on it, such as a click. Since WebElement JSONs are used directly to create the WebdriverIO elements they do not have a selector which is used to attempt to refetch them. Custom locator strategies are able to add a selector to the resulting element but still fail to refetch and cause problems with within for unknown reasons. In future this may be a viable solution but not currently. Use SimmerJS to generate a unique selector for the element and send that back from the browser, then use the selector as a string selector for $. Using SimmerJS has the negative that much more text is being sent between the browser and WebdriverIO.
import simmerjs to automatically add Simmer to the Window interface.
