Following this link Is there a way to get element by XPath using JavaScript in Selenium WebDriver? I have created a keyword for clicking hidden elements. It also works for visible elements.

JS Click Element
[Documentation]
...     Can be used to click hidden elements
...     Dependencies
...         SeleniumLibrary
...         String
[Arguments]     ${element_xpath}
# escape " characters of xpath
${element_xpath}=       Replace String      ${element_xpath}        \"  \\\"
Execute JavaScript  document.evaluate("${element_xpath}", document, null, XPathResult.ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, null).snapshotItem(0).click();

Answer 2

Instead of finding element and then passing to JS, you can directly find element by ID and click it using JS.

Execute JavaScript    document.getElementById("element-id").onclick()
