A scenario might be that a developer uses console.log to print an element with page script (where inspect() is not accessible), and then inspects them in the console. The developer could achieve this in another way, but different developers might have different habits in debugging.

For example, a compatibility detection extension finds a problematic element and print it with console.log(), then the user can inspect the element to find more details.

Today, if you use console.dirxml or console.dir, you get the element dumped into the console. We can provide a "Reveal in Elements Panel" context menu item on such elements. Would that cover your scenario?
