I want to basically do what is currently doable with the toast plugin: we insert the toast element -> we put our elements of the page inside the toast element -> now the toast actions are available to all child elements.so what I do is [create a component](https://toddle.dev/projects/moccasin_palpatine_chief_rook/branches/start/components/notification-popover?leftpanel=design&canvas-width=800&canvas-height=800&rightpanel=style&selection=nodes.KtbvoLP7IGXLZ44g6FDM2) -> set a workflow show-popover -> create a slot. in [the page](https://toddle.dev/projects/moccasin_palpatine_chief_rook/branches/start/components/test4%20context?leftpanel=design&canvas-width=800&canvas-height=800&rightpanel=style), I put the reusable and add a child to it. now, I should be able to access the workflow that I created but I cant seem able to do it.what am i missing? thanks

You can only subscribe to the context of a component in another component. You cannot subscribe to a context on a page 🙂

ah ok did not know that.
I am not sure why that is the case? is this a technical thing?
if I want to do what I explained above, is the only way to do it by adding the context in all pages such that I can access the context even with a button (not a component)? thanks

It is a technical thing and it makes sense 😊 the page where you want to use your workflow is not a child of that component.

You can still have one context that you use on every page. But the actual content should not be on the page but in it's own component. This also provides better project structure. You can check out the Spark One template. We did it similarly there
