How to access control instances from map instance in Mapbox

Question

I need a way to access a registered control instance from Mapbox map instance.

For example, say I register a hypothetical Mapbox control:

const control = new IControl(); // Where IControl is the hypothetical mapbox control

map.addControl(control);

How do I access this control instance in some other places in my codebase where I only have access to the map instance??

For context; I need to perform some map actions depending on some values only the control instance is aware of.

Thanks.

There is no standard way to do this. But there is nothing preventing you from doing:

map.addControl(control);
map._myControl = control;

and later accessing it with map._myControl;.
