@Gleb thanks for your response and offering the plugin this can be helpful for my individual use. for my official use, the use case is different, so exploring if there is a different way to find all the detached instances…

Can you explain how your use-case is different?

I want to identify the detached instances and run a few other checks on them to make sure they pass our internal design standards… ideally when someone uses our components as is, they are passing our design standards if they are not using and they detach the components we want to run additional checks to pass them…

With my plugin you can find detached instances, navigate to them, select them, and then you can run all the necessary checks (I imagine you have your own tools for that). Is there something else I’m missing?

Not trying to sell you my plugin, just trying to understand what the issue is and potentially improve it in the future.

Yes, it should work if I am the direct user and and I am the only one doing this. But this is a design process where we would like multiple teams consuming our DS to follow, so we are looking to write our own plugin to do the identification and then add the design checks on top so that it becomes a single plugin internally, and the design checks could vary based on different components. If not we need to ask them to run 2 plugin 1 will be your plugin to identify and then our plugin to do the design checks.

Looks like this could be of some help FrameNode | Plugin API , may be this is available only in Plugin API and I was looking for it inside REST API and trying to MVP the plugin with REST API first…
