Answer 1

You can find all the elements that contain a certain text. Then, select the one you need and click it:

List<WebElement> myElements = driver.findElementsByXpath("//*[contains(text(),'Bar')]") 
// this maybe another index, here is just an example
WebElement barElm = myElements[1];
barElm.click();
