I was trying to introduce a live component to more uniformly display a data structure that appears broadly across my app, including interactions, and I bumped into a hitch.

I wanted to have a default behavior for a link in the widget, and I discovered in trying to do so that core_components can’t use the ~p sigil. And the threads I could find for fixing it have advice that’s more appropriate for a custom component not in core_components.

I can just pull this component out to its own file and just load the html helpers there, so if that were the end of the story I would just ‘un-ask the question’ and move on. But working on this component has gotten me thinking about other components I might try to make that could be worth a PR, such as a more intelligent back button component (eg for …/show/… routes, which are currently kind of a pain in the butt)

What would be the right way to introduce a core component that did its own patch or navigate arithmetic?
