Gotcha 🧙

```auto
const view = [...window.__client.page.views._data.values()].find(view => view.value.mountPath == this.parentNode.parentNode.getAttributeNode('data-component-path').value.split('.')[0]).value;

```

you can than do things like `view.custom.read('yourprop')`, `view.custom.write('yourprop', thevalue)`, `view.props.write('yourprop', thevalue)`, `view.params.read('key')`  
you could dig into the children/root too, but you should probably just use bindings to the custom props unless you know what you are doing 😛
