Field focus on pop-up

[XVII]

Prerequisites

• I have searched for similar feature requests in both open and closed discussions and cannot find an existing request.
• I have verified that the feature is still missing from the latest stable versions of Elementor or Elementor Pro.

What problem is your feature request going to solve? Please describe..

A search box (for example) is not intuitive when placed inside a pop-up because the text field isn't focused on open.

This is due to changes from #21466.

Describe the solution you'd like.

Can the default focus element field be set so we can select the element by a nominated selected -- i.e. ID or Class?

That would allow designers to set a logical field for assistive technologies instead of just the close button (which may not even be visible if configured so based on "seconds before show").

This new option would sit neatly alongside Open By Selector which is used to trigger the pop-up (say from an icon).

Describe alternatives you've considered.

Turning "Accessible navigation" off on the pop up does not return to the old behaviour of the "focus the first element". it just does nothing.

Otherwise, writing custom Javascript and try and hook into the pop up load and manually focus the field. Messy.
An event after openSelector would be nice to at least make this smoother.
