Hello!
How can I get the AutomationId value of a desktop application interface element knowing only the coordinates of the element? Are there such frameworks and libraries?

I did not understand AutomationId, but I solved similar tasks using WinAPI.
First, the cursor coordinates are obtained, then through WinAPI - the handle of the window under the cursor is obtained. Well, knowing the handle, you can send a message to the window or get the parent, child windows, etc.
If you follow this path, the WinID and Spy ++ utility helps a lot in your work.
