Getting the nested widget instance

[swathip88]

Hi,
I am writing to ask if we have any global API to get the widget instance given the id of the widget, even when the widget is deeply nested. I have used 'getWidget' but that works only when accessed by the parent widget to get child instance.

Example:
When I want to get 'b12' widget instance using its Id.

Top layer

a
--a1
----a11
----a12
b
--b1
----b11
----b12

Thanks,
Swathi
