Retrieve ProxyDeployment by ContractName

Hi there, coming from using the hardhat-deploy-ethers plugin to retrieve a contract by its name, I found a deployed proxy through hardhat upgrades plugin cannot be retrieved the same way. See this link for how getContract<T>(contractName) works under the hood.

Wondering if proxy deployment could be retreived by contract name in the same way. If this is already possible, how is it achieved? Thanks.

import { HardhatRuntimeEnvironment } from "hardhat/types";
import { DeployFunction } from "hardhat-deploy/types";
import { ethers, upgrades } from "hardhat";
import { Manifest } from '@openzeppelin/upgrades-core';

const func: DeployFunction = async function (hre: HardhatRuntimeEnvironment) {
  const { deployments, getNamedAccounts } = hre;
  const { deploy } = deployments;
  const { deployProxy } = upgrades;
  const { deployer } = await getNamedAccounts();
  const { provider } = hre.network;
  const manifest = await Manifest.forNetwork(provider);
  const get = deployments.getOrNull;

  const Box = await ethers.getContractFactory("Box");
  const box = await deployProxy(Box, [], { kind: "uups" });
  await box.connect(deployer).deployed();

  console.log(await get("Box"));

  const proxies = (await manifest.read()).proxies;
  console.log(proxies);
  console.log(await manifest.getProxyFromAddress(proxies[0].address));
};
export default func;

Start with the linked hardhat-deploy-ethers helper at src/internal/helpers.ts#L460 and the deployProxy, deployments.getOrNull, and Manifest calls shown in the issue. Trace how proxy addresses are recorded and resolved, then verify that retrieval by contract name is supported or specify the missing behavior and its tests.
