Missing documentation

I stumbled onto something that works but is not documented and I'd like to understand if it should be avoided.

The setup: Non react application renders various react components in few places.

I've noticed couple of components that do the following:

function Foo(props){
    return <div>
        Some content
        <div id="placeholder"></div>
    </div>
}
ReactDOM.render(<Foo/>, domRef)

Somewhere else in the application ReactDOM.render(<Bar/>, document.getElementById("placeholder")). The "placeholder" being the dom element rendered by the <Foo /> component.

I couldn't find anything in the React docs and Stackoverflow describing how/if this should work. Any light on the subject would be much appreciated.

I have also opened a this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66134211/reactdom-render-one-react-component-inside-the-render-tree-of-another

Comece pelos exemplos de ReactDOM.render descritos na issue e compare-os com a documentação existente do React. Determine se a renderização em um elemento DOM produzido por outro componente é compatível ou deve ser evitada; em seguida, documente as orientações e verifique se a página aborda o caso de renderização aninhada levantado aqui.
