Jquery Cache Future Selector

Question

I know you can cache a selector to improve performance if your going to use it more than once by doing:

mySelector = $('#mySelectorId');

Is it possible to cache selectors that are going to be added in the future without doing the below?

var selector;

$('#something').click(function(){
    $('body').append('<div id="futureSelector"></div>');
    selector = $('#futureSelector');
})

why do you need that.?? for applying events to that.?? if it is then use .on() jQuery method — Dipesh Parmar, Mar 09 '13 at 11:48
@Dipesh Parmar It would be for anything, such as .css() etc. — imperium2335, Mar 09 '13 at 11:52

I think not, because jQuery method returns object. And you can't store object which doesn't exist.
