dict component id passed to clientside callbacks is object instead of string

[sdementen]

When passing an Input with the component_property being "id" and the component_id referring to a dict (instead of a string), the javascript function received an object (the id dict) and not the stringified/jsonified id. This makes it difficult to use.

See here https://community.plotly.com/t/clientside-callback-with-pattern-matching/45657/2 for the required workaround in javascript

I'll move this to the Dash repo to get the right folks looking at it :)

Hello, do you have any news about this issue? I'm having the same problem with client side callbacks.
I saw this thread on the forum: https://community.plotly.com/t/js-syntaxerror-not-a-valid-selector-when-using-pattern-matching-callbacks-with-bootstrap/90271

I can try to fix this bug, but if you have any leads, I'd love to hear from you.

@T4rk1n any suggestions where/how @StephaneBranly could start tackling this?
