Description

### Prerequisites

- [X] I have read the [Contributing Guidelines](https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/blob/main/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md#creating-an-issue).
- [X] I agree to follow the [Code of Conduct](https://ionicframework.com/code-of-conduct).
- [X] I have searched for [existing issues](https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/issues) that already include this feature request, without success.

### Describe the Feature Request

Currently you have to use ion-content (along with other optional root elements) to navigate to and from a view.

It would be nice if instead I could use any root element, such as a div.

if needed, maybe the root element could be given some type of tag that the navigation system could use, for example `

`

### Describe the Use Case

This feature simplifies ionic framework's components. Most of the time devs dont need a lot of what the ion content, header & footer provides.

This would also make the navigation system more modular by decoupling it from being tightly bound to the usage of specific components.l

Research direction

The issue does not identify files, tests, or an entry point. Start by locating the navigation code that requires ion-content and determine how arbitrary HTML roots would be recognized. Done means views can navigate without ion-content while existing navigation remains supported.
