so, let's see bellow example:

Example 1: Set Value

src/app/app.component.ts

import { Component, VERSION, ViewChild, ElementRef } from "@angular/core";
  
@Component({
  selector: "my-app",
  templateUrl: "./app.component.html",
  styleUrls: ["./app.component.css"]
})
export class AppComponent {
  name = "Angular " + VERSION.major;
  
  @ViewChild("myDomeElem", { static: true }) myDomeElem: ElementRef;
  
  ngOnInit() {
    console.log(this.myDomeElem);
    this.myDomeElem.nativeElement.innerHTML = "Changed Dom Element Value";
  }
  
  ngAfterViewInit() {
    console.log(this.myDomeElem);
  }
}

src/app/app.component.html

<div #myDomeElem>
  
</div>

Output:

Example 2: List & Trigger Click Event

src/app/app.component.ts

import { Component, VERSION, ViewChildren, QueryList, ElementRef } from "@angular/core";
  
@Component({
  selector: "my-app",
  templateUrl: "./app.component.html",
  styleUrls: ["./app.component.css"]
})
export class AppComponent {
  name = "Angular " + VERSION.major;
  categories = [];
  
  @ViewChildren('myItemLists') items: QueryList;
  
  ngOnInit() {
    this.categories = [
      {
        value: "Angular 8",
      }, {
        value: "Angular 9",
      }, {
        value: "Angular 10",
      }
    ];
  
  }
  getCategory(event, category, i) {
    console.log('category clicked : ', category);
    console.log('event : ', event);
    console.log('index of category : ', i);
    console.log('all items : ', this.items)
  }
}

src/app/app.component.html

<ul *ngFor="let category of categories;let i = index" #myItemLists>
   <li (click)="getCategory($event, category, i)">{{ category.value }}</li>
</ul>

Output:

I hope it can help you...
