Cypress click element by ID / XPATH / Name?

Question

I want to click on an element by XPATH / ID and not the default cypress locator, is it possible?

In selenium I can use find element by XPATH for example:

#hdtb-msb-vis is an ID-selector and .category is a class-selector. But you should be able to select purely by the class-selector

cy.get('.category')
  .click()

But if that class is not unique you can click it via the ID and then the class:

cy.get('#hdtb-msb-vis')
  .find('.category')
  .click()
