Description
In a React application using @emotion/styled, I need to extract the styles generated for a specific component rendered in the DOM, based on a reference (ref). The goal is to capture the <style> tags injected by Emotion that are related to the component currently referenced, without having to loop through all <style> tags in the DOM.
When using @emotion/styled, styles are dynamically injected into the of the document. These styles are global and are not automatically scoped to specific components in a way that makes it straightforward to extract styles for just one component.
Question:-
Is there a way to directly access the <style> tags generated by Emotion for a specific component using a ref?

Research direction
No repository files, tests, or entry points are mentioned. Start by investigating how @emotion/styled injects style tags into the document head and whether a ref identifies the styles for one rendered component; done requires a confirmed, documented answer about accessing those styles without scanning every tag.
