To produce a path for an element is exactly the reverse of what the XPath Visualizer
does. Probably you meant to specify an XPath expression relative to a (current)
node?
This can be achieved as follows:

1. Create a variable, whose "select" attribute is an XPath expression, that
evaluates to the node you want to use as current.

2. Use this variable in further XPath expressions. E.G. $cur/a/b/c

The lack of point and click node-identification is by design with the purpose to
encourage the user to learn XPath by having to specify as much expressions as
possible... :o)
