Is there a way to use a non Form-Associated element as a natural associate?

Question

In the HTML, there are the elements 'Form-Associated', which are elements that are associated with form which are inside, like the input for example.

Good, but even if it’s unusual, if in a certain situation I want an element NAY 'Form-Associated' native were associated with the form in question, something like:

<form>
   <div value="VALOR"></div>
</form>

Is it possible to associate these elements only with HTML ? (submit the div value)

OBS: I don’t want to capture the value with JS or otherwise, the question is whether there is how to make these elements naturally associated with HTML.

Answer 1

The answer is nay. Only form elements (input, textarea, select, button...) are received in the backend via form.

If it is strictly necessary to send an attribute value of a div in a submit (which is not correct, since the attribute value does not apply to divs but to form elements), you would have to make a control via JS creating a input hidden and sending the attribute value for such input before submitting, so that the backend may receive it.
