Getting the exposed data from a component without mounting it using a dynamic component

[silverbackdan]

Hey everyone, is this a place to ask vue questions to a community? I've got a situation where I need to 'ghost' mount a component so I can get what is being exposed from defineExpose but ideally I do not want to keep the component mounted. Looking at resolveComponent and the h render function but not really working, I could mount the components as dynamic components, populate the reactive variable and then remove those dynamic components after, but I feel it's a bit... hacky.
