I agree there is no functionality to accomplish this.  I need to get the HTML for an element in applicaiton modeler.  I am able to spy/get text.  When I use the read action read I can select 'get path', 'get id', 'get text'.  There is 'get attribute' which pull nothing and there is no 'get html'.  Is there a way to read the html from a spied element or no?
