Component instancing

[santilland]

I was thinking about how we "instance" components within a story.
Initially i thought each added component definition (that translates to a component with the renderer) creates its own component instance.

Taking into account that it would be ideal if we can still represent custom dashboards as stories, i think this would be a "single page" story with multiple component instances, so for sure we need this possibility.

But in order to have a map that can be manipulated and animated we need a continuous instance.
I think we need to either have a :

• "base/central" map component that is always loaded and can be manipulated or
• we have a "start map story" definition where steps can be added until a "stop map story" definition is added
