[Feature] Expose page.target()

[umanghome]

We're opening a popup and need to get its parent. Puppeteer give a page.target API that lets us do that.

Target is present as a Symbol on the Page, but there's API that exposes it. It would be great if there was a way to get a reference to it. Currently using this hack:

/**
 * Playwright doesn't expose an API to get the target.
 * This is a hack to get it.
 * @param {Page} page
 *
 * @returns {Target}
 */
function getTarget(page) {
  const symbol = Object.getOwnPropertySymbols(page).find(
    symbol => String(symbol) === 'Symbol(target)'
  );

  if (!symbol) {
    return;
  }

  return page[symbol];
}

There is no such API in Playwright today. You learn about new popups by listening to the popup event on the opener so you should already now what it is for each new popup page. Can you provide some details on why it is not sufficient in your scenario?

The popup event doesn't seem to work for my case. targetcreated seems to work, though. Moving it to a #873.

This seems to be incorrectly closed too. I'm trying to get the CRTarget associated with a Page. page.opener() just gives me the opener's CRTarget.
