In a component event script on a vision component you can ‘fetch’ another component by traversing through the component hierarchy with `.parent` and `.getComponent()` as described [here](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/Component+and+Window+Scripting).

Can the same be accomplished in perspective? I can’t seem to find any documentation that describes the equivalent.
