About the component model; is there another mechanism you suggest to have this feature to be integrated with the carbon-core ui, the objective of this feature is, that any UI component developer can add a gadget simply from a tag, like we add properties etc. if we make this a separate component IMO we cannot get the model working. Can you suggest the correct way in doing this if it violates the component model.
