Chaining selectors

[DMazona]

I'm evaluating migration from protractor. I have several page objects in protractor where i define a common element and then use that element to define other elements.
after conversion, it looks like this

    radiobutton1 = $('div[data-fieldid="RADIOBUTTON1"][class*=radiobutton]')
    radiobutton1_selected = this.radiobutton1.$("span=X")

vscode complains about this. though the webdriver documentation mentions being able to chain dollar selectors. Is there an easy way around this, other than redefining all of my selectors?

vscode complains about this.

Can you provide more information about the error VSCode is throwing? The example looks correct to me.

Property '$' does not exist on type 'Promise'.ts(2339)

It suggest using await, but I can't use await, my page objects are properties
