How can you use UQuery to access child nodes?

Say I’ve got a UIDocument with the following layout, and I want to select the second big_text element (a Label).

root
  content
    big_text
  footer
    big_text

The docs for UQuery tell you that it’s based on jQuery, but doing root.Q("footer big_text") returns the nothing (since #footer #big_text is what you’d expect in jQuery).

How can I access the second element named big_text?

The answer seems to be chaining the queries:

root.Q("footer").Q("big_text");
