It works for a :ref binding though.

@CyberAP Can you post the whole code you used? It doesn't seem to work

[CyberAP]

The only line I changed was this:

<component :is="Component" ref="custom" />

To this:

<component :is="Component" :ref="custom" />

Do note that console.log(value.$el) takes a lot of time in JSFiddle because it prints that object in its own console. If you just log 1 it will work as expected.

That won't work for custom ref though, it's like omitting the ref attribute
