How does the JS code of an extension (plugin) interact with Selenium?

Question

JavaScript

Good afternoon.
Wrote a small extension for Chrome. The plugin parses the page and, under certain circumstances, you need to click on some DIV element. I did both with the help of dispatchEvent and with the help of jQuery. I read on several resources that you can click, but the click as such will not happen.

"Manual" triggering (generation) of an event does not create by default an action associated with this event. For example, programmatically firing a focus event on an element does not mean it will receive focus, a manually fired submit event will not cause the form to submit data (you should use the form's submit method), a fired keypress event does not mean the character will appear in the input field, programmatically clicking on a link does not activate the transition on it, etc. Such restrictions are necessary for security purposes and to prevent scenarios of simulating user experience and interaction with the browser.

How can you solve the problem anyway? I'm already leaning towards the fact that I won't be able to do it from the plugin.
I'm looking at Selenium - this automated testing tool is able to click/interact with the page. But then the question (may be stupid), how can I call from the plugin code (JS), run the Selenium script, and even pass it in the parameters where I need to click, and still get the coveted click? Or since I'm going to use selenium, maybe rewrite everything on it?
And you can have a code example, or better a link to the documentation, with an example of "click on an element" specified in the launch options.
