In util:ProductSearch for Bundle, how to search product (Package) with Id instead of UpgradeCode, if Id is recommended way to use in new Project?

Question

I have a bundle and a package. The package is added to bundle along with some additional msi files. The package has an Id attribute, which is a replacement for UpgradeCode. In documentation it says "Use this attibute instead of the UpgradeCode attribute in new development". (https://docs.firegiant.com/wix/schema/wxs/package/)

However, I need information from ProductSearch in Bundle, according to the documentation (https://docs.firegiant.com/wix/schema/util/productsearch/), only UpgradeCode can be used here. How do I specify Id of the Package instead of UpgradeCode?

Hmm, it would be neat if ProducstSearch could use same algorithm the Package.Id uses to generate the UpgradeCode. However, today, you'll need to peek in the MSI and grab the UpgradeCode out of the Property table.

OK, in that case, I'll keep using UpgradeCode across the project. and not using Id attribute as documentation suggested.
