regex/substring match in `.findFirst` methods and similar?

[gderosa]

Hi, I have code like this:

my_menu.AXChildren[0].findFirst(AXTitle='Preferences\u2026')

which works fine but relies on exact string match (with an Unicode hellipsis character, which tomorrow may be replaced with three dots or mothing at all).

It would be great to be able to match by regex or substring and/or in a case insensitive manner etc.

Because what I want is just clicking "Preferences" :)

I know I can probably findAll() and then iteratively match, but perhaps there's a better way?

Thanks!

IIRC can be used as wildcard. so `AXTitle="Preferences"` should work
