How to access the generated SVG element?

[remcohaszing]

I need to access the SVG DOM element generated by mermaid. However, I only see a way to access the output as a string. As a workaround, I now use this:

const wrapper = document.createElement('div');
wrapper.innerHTML = mermaid.render('id', value);
const node = wrapper.firstChild

Ideally I would like to do something like this:

const node = mermaid.renderElement('id', value)

Is something like this possible?
