Selecting only `td` elements from the root table (not nested tables inside the root table)

Hey! i have a ref to a table element and I want to querySelectorAll its td in a certain index. I came up with the following:
tableRef.current.querySelectorAll<HTMLTableCellElement>(
`tbody tr td:nth-child(${index + 1})`
)
tableRef.current.querySelectorAll<HTMLTableCellElement>(
`tbody tr td:nth-child(${index + 1})`
)
it works very nicely but it also selects td elements from nested drawer tables, (which are basically the same table inside a certain tr). I want to select only the tds of the root table. Can someone assist me? i'm open to JS and CSS solutions

tr elment with nested table can be identified because it has a data-state="open" attribute

if they can be identified like that, could you do tbody tr:not([data-state="open") td:nth-child(${index + 1})

I think its a step into the solution but it doesn't work. because the inner table is the same table so it still has tr > table > **tbody > tr > td** like the root table. I guess the only way to determine a row in the inner table from the outer table is that it has 2 parent tables instead of one? not sure if theres a css selector for taht @Y7YA

you can use :has for that type of selection
