How to retrieve a variable from an HTML component based on onclick = "function(this)" functionality?

I've written custom HTML to create a list using the HTML component in the Windmill app. I want to retrieve the <li> tag value that was clicked on the component. Is there a way to do this?

I don't think so, you will probably want to use custom components instead (which does require EE)

there ar eprobably ways to communicate data between frame and the parent but we haven't explored it enough to provide you with guidance

I tried sometime ago <button onclick="window.parent.postMessage('hi');">hi</button> and in a background runnable

window.addEventListener(
  "message",
  (event) => {
    if (event.data !== "hi") return;
    alert('hi')
  },
  false,
);

window.addEventListener(
  "message",
  (event) => {
    if (event.data !== "hi") return;
    alert('hi')
  },
  false,
);

it did post the message
