Pipe for converting string to template reference

[RakeshMaddala]

🚀 feature request

Relevant Package

This feature request is for @angular/common

Description

If we need to use

[ngTemplateOutlet]="templateName"
The "templateName" should be defined in component and should be of type TemplateRef.

Problem described with an example here - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56001849/how-to-convert-string-to-an-template-reference-instance

Describe the solution you'd like

I should be able to convert the string type from a property to templateRef type using a pipe like below

[ngTemplateOutlet]="templateName | templateRef"
In this case templateName can be string.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Here is the current alternative to the problem described above.

Pipes are just normal user code, no pipe can bring extra capability to framework runtime. You'll need to request an imperative view children query API first.

You can create a directive that registers a template in a service and pipe to retrieve it:
