Triggering built-in events programatically OpenLayers

Question

Is there a way to trigger openlayers event from console. In this case:
 ol.interaction.Select event which listens 'select' (ol.SelectEvent.select). It triggers when feature is selected or deselected by mouse click.

In the mean time I have found the answer. There is OpenLayers built in function for dispatchingEvents :

ol.events.EventTarget.prototype.dispatchEvent.call(this,event);

this references the object on which we add event listener

In my case:

var fakeOnSelectEvent = new ol.interaction.Select.Event(ol.interaction.Select.EventType.SELECT, [], [], false);  
var selectInteraction = new ol.interaction.Select({...});

ol.events.EventTarget.prototype.dispatchEvent.call(selectInteraction,fakeOnSelectEvent);
