Hey everyone,

Is it possible to access the content of a component given it’s id?  
My setting is that I have a callback that generates a variable number of components, and I want to use these components in another callback. The issue is that since I don’t know these components in advance, I can’t put them as Inputs of the callback, that’s why I would like access them through their ids potential ids from inside the callback.

the dynamic callback is feasible if you set `app.config.suppress_callback_exceptions = True`
