I'm writing a custom TagHelper and want to render a ViewComponent inside it. Something similar to what vc:xyz tag helper does, but in a more controlled way, so that I can determine at runtime which ViewComponent to render.
Is it possible?

A follow up on the answer.
There is no need to write end tag when calling the tag helper. Just set the TagMode in ProcessAsync:
output.TagMode = TagMode.StartTagAndEndTag;
output.Content.SetHtmlContent(content);
Then <widget name="abc" /> works perfectly fine.
Alternatively, you can render the content of the view component in place of the widget tag without rendering the tag itself:
output.SuppressOutput();
output.PostElement.SetHtmlContent(content);
I also noticed that adding self-closing tags in the view component's view makes them appear wrong in the final result, but that may be a different topic.
