This is a case where the Document Object Model (DOM) is probably
better than anything inside JAWS. Look up the querySelector functions
for a way to nail your element on the first shot, or use
getElementsByTagName and loop through them to find it yourself.
Of course, if your goal is actually to move the virtual cursor to the
desired element, the below approach may well be more effective, since
there's no easy way to move the virtual cursor to an element given its
DOM object.

I do not believe there is a function to do this automatically.
You can make your own, however.
MoveToTagWithAttribute()
Then
D = GetElementDescription()
If stringContains(d, attribute-value-pair) then you've found it break
Else repeat

When you use this function, one of the parameters is the name of an
attribute that the intended tag must possess. These seem to be the names of
the various tag parameters that you get when you do
control+shift+jawsKey+f1. But, can you also specify the value that the
attribute must have? If so, it isn't clear from the description.
But, not being able to specify the parameter value, but to only specify that
the parameter must exist really limits how uniquely you can specify exactly
which tag it is that you want. Most tags of a given type will have the
same set of attributes. Their uniqueness lies in the values each of those
attributes have.
So, is there a way to search for a tag that has a particular attribute, and
also has it set to a particular value?
