New record option, prefer label #1627

In modern framework recording, the controls will often not have usable ID/CSS selector tags, or the display value may generally be of more interest in recording and playback. Consider a project mode to allow the recorder to prioritize text display or text values for objects. This issue can be seen with the vue tree select control https://vue-treeselect.js.org/

In general, prefer the "contains" operator, 

xpath=//label[contains(.,'Chicken Litties Sandwiches')]

This seems similiar to this request as well. Probably should group them together if one of these are ever worked: #1553
