Find element by XPath with attribute name within square brackets

I need to build a XPath with attributes within square brackets. This is from Power BI report:

HTML Element:

<exploration-container [view-model]="viewModel.explorationContainer" [exploration-container-options]="explorationContainerOptions" ng-version="8.2.6">

Tried following but did not work:

//exploration-container[@[exploration-container-options]='explorationContainerOptions']

You can do it using name() to work with the attribute name

Direct match

//exploration-container[@*[name()='[exploration-container-options]']='explorationContainerOptions']

Contains

//exploration-container[@*[contains(name(), exploration-container-options)]='explorationContainerOptions']

Use CSS if possible. Just a simple \ before [ for example 

//exploration-container[\[exploration-container-options]='explorationContainerOptions']

Hope this might help you.
