How to access the element from javascript

[lukemelia]

One need I have occasionally had in converting our Classic apps to Octane is to get a reference to the main element of my component. I have been using ember-ref-modifier to do this. Does this warrant an entry?

At today's learning team, we also discussed showing using ember-modifier directly to serve this need, as a possible alternative.

The broader topic should be included somewhere, and we're gathering feedback on the specific recommendation to make!
