When will we have custom components inside custom widgets?

It seems that it is not possible to reference custom components from inside a custom widget. The reason why is eluding me.

I'm curious to know if there been any statements from the FF team on this.

It's surely a requested feature during 2024 as seen in the below results from a quick google search:

Suggested workarounds:

1) import the path and check "Exclude from compilation".

This prevents the Test feature from working so now the project can't run in the browser which is a big part of why FF is awesome. Sacrificing this is not acceptable.
