PX allows you to use the full power of CSS Selector Query Language: https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.asp

If the target html/css element(s) do not have standard/robust element identification/classification (id’s, classes, data tags, etc), then yes, not having access and/or the ability to influence the target HTML/CSS will pose a challenge.

Asking PX to scrape text can surface brittle/inconsistent results and is not recommended.
