How to freeze state of the dom tree (without using js "debugger" statement) to inspect it?

Maybe I'm asking too much from the browser's dev tools but... is there some way to simply freeze the state of the web page without finding the relative lines in the JS code and putting the debugger statement? (not browser specific question, any browser that can do this is good)

I have a situation where I want to inspect some DOM on the page that is only accessible after:

• I clicked on a specific button
• It disappears after blur event (E.g. once I located the parent element in the inspector and clicked on it, it immediately disappears).

Because it triggers on click, "Force element state" doesn't help either.

Thanks!
