In my app we have a component library where its possible to clone an existing component but getting the component used by a panel can only be accessed via the toJSON api.

Example working code:

api.addPanel({
  id: crypto.randomUUID(),
  component: api.toJSON().panels[existingPanel.id]
    .contentComponent as string,
  title: `${existingPanel.title} clone`,
})

I also may be missing something in the API.

I'd like to be able to do the above without needing to go via the toJSON api. Potentially just adding the component to the public api of the panel? panel.component?
