I would do it this way:

1. Create a link with a (possibly unique) initial bogus href attribute to identify it by.
2. Fetch that element using document.querySelector('a[href=]').
3. You now have a reference to the created element and can do with it as you please.

The benefit of this is that you don't have to work with Selection at all.
