# ShadowDOM Target

Imagine we have a web component `<foo-component id="fooShadowRoot">` and need to query a sub-element within its Shadow DOM. So we create a target for the foo-component:

Then  we create a target for the hosted element

![Defining hosted element target](/files/-LtyuBDltkgSOvUR6SEb)

The first one is a simple target like we are used to have in Puppetry, but the second is chained one. While building it we expand Options, set **Parent target** to `SHADOW_FOO` and **Parent type** to `shadow host`.

As soon as the hosted element target defined (`SHADOWDOM_FOO_LOCAL`) we can address it as any simple target:
