A Previous Sibling Selector

https://blog.jim-nielsen.com/2022/previous-sibling-selector/

This is really clever, I hope we'll get support for :has() everywhere soon!

I can remember a time when it was difficult to find selectors that would target all your use cases. But now-a-days, with the powerful new selectors we’re getting in CSS like :where(), :is(), :not(), and :has(), I rarely need to target something for which I cannot find a selector. It’s amazing!
