I know that the function of transform could change the positon, but how could I recreate an existed component?

There's no documented or supported way to do this. You have to create from scratch and add to the container, configure layout, construct bindings, and get everything started. There be dragons.

However, there is system.nav.openWindowInstance() available to create multiple of the same window.
