Missing forwardRef Support Prevents Direct DOM Access and Integration

[Tushar15769]

📌 Description

Registry components do not expose DOM references through React.forwardRef.

Current behavior:

Components render DOM elements internally
Parent components cannot obtain element references
Programmatic focus management is unavailable
Measurement and animation integrations are difficult
Third-party libraries cannot attach refs
DOM-level interactions require workarounds

Because refs are not forwarded, component consumers lose access to underlying DOM nodes.

As a result:

Accessibility workflows become harder to implement
Focus management is restricted
Animation libraries are harder to integrate
Component interoperability decreases
Advanced UI interactions become difficult

🎯 Expected Behavior

Components should support React.forwardRef
Parent components should access underlying DOM nodes
Programmatic focus should be supported
Third-party integrations should function correctly
DOM measurements and animations should be enabled
