Adding new components to existing ones

Unfortunately I am not aware of a simple way to get a specific component object without recursively iterating through them to find the one you want, but that sounds like a great idea!

You might be able to do something like this to get all components and then filter for the one that you want (this code is not fully tested, but hopefully can get you started in the right direction if you're stuck):

    function getAllComponents(component) {
		component = component || editor.DomComponents.getWrapper();

		var components = component.get("components").models;
		component.get("components").forEach(function(component) {
			components = components.concat(getAllComponents(component));
		});

		return components;
	};

`getAllComponents().filter(function(component) { return component.cid == "someID"; } )[0]`
