Description

Is there any way to get a ref to the component in a TabPanel? Currently they are always returning null.

<Tabs>
...
<TabPanel>
  <MyComponent ref={(comp) => { console.log('ref: ', comp); }} />
</TabPanel>
</Tabs>

I saw the docs mentioning domRef but that seems to only apply only to Tabs component

Research direction

Start by examining the TabPanel and Tabs entry points described in the issue, then compare their ref behavior with the documented domRef behavior. Confirm how a ref passed to MyComponent is handled and define completion as the ref callback receiving the component instead of null, with the relevant documentation updated if the API changes.
