Anything that can be added with $form->element()
is returned by $form->get_elements()

If you add it with, for example:
    $form->element({ type => 'Block' });

then you retrieve it with:
    $form->get_element({ type => 'Block' });

Can you write a test for that? It should work.

There is no 'a' element.
How is that HTML being generated?
