'What does editElementQuery do?

I've came across some examples of a richtext field that has a property called editElementQuery but nobody says what it does. I couldn't find any documentation on it either. One of the examples is in the stackoverflow question bellow: AEM/CQ5 html5smartimage filename lost on image upload

Does anybody know what this is suppose to do?

Here is a good explanation what does editElementQuery do: https://medium.com/@koen_/boost-your-aem-authors-experience-85b2aef04422

Here is a small piece of _cq_editConfig.xml file where I have used this field:

<cq:inplaceEditing
        jcr:primaryType="cq:InplaceEditingConfig"
        active="{Boolean}true"
        editorType="text">
    <config jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
            editElementQuery="div.rich-text-component__text">
        <rtePlugins jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
            ...
        </rtePlugins>
    </config>
</cq:inplaceEditing>

I share this config here because I had difficulties in finding where to put this editElementQuery property.
