There are often cases when elements are placed on a page, sometimes for experimentation sometimes to wire up other elements (e.g. dataset), but get lost or hidden. It would be very helpful (especially on a busy layered page) to have a drop down on a page in the editor that lists all of the elements that are on the page so that the one you are looking for can quickly be located.
This is sort of doable in the code editor screen by autoComplete when you type $w(…
However it can be cumbersome to have to keep opening the code page to find elements. Since auto complete already finds all on page elements this (hopefully) should be a straight forward request?

Just found this very old post, while working on my Wix-Inspector-Tool.
Yes this is true, sometimes elements gets lost, because of hiding them, collapsing them or changing layer-behaviour. And sometime elements even gets lost trough wix-sided bugs. I also ran several times into the same issue while working on on my wix-website.
Right now i am generating a ‘Wix-Inspector-Tool’, which is capable to find every single element on your Wix-Page and all of it’s children in a deep-scan version.
You can write a specific code for this and put it into a JS-File.
Results can be seen either directly in the LOGS…like…
…or you generate a UI for visualization for the output.
This way, you will always know how much elements are currently on your Wix-Page, which elements are included and at which depth-level they are located → nested elements inside other ones → (PARENT-CHILDREN-principle).
The → Wix-Inspector ← will find them all. 
Everything is possible.
