cy.scope('#identifier')

[dillingham]

would be handy if a before() hook could scope all upcoming get() by a selector

before(() => {
    cy.visit('/page')
    cy.scope('#notifications');
})

it('can see all notifications', () => {
    cy.get('[test="trigger"]').click()

})

this selector

cy.get('[test="trigger"]').click()

would become

cy.get('#notifications [test="trigger"]').click()

behind the scenes

This is similar to .within(), but you can likely overwrite existing commands or write your own to get similar functionality: https://on.cypress.io/custom-commands
