Describe the bug

Trying to use dict id in a callback with a "." character in it leads to an error.
Expected behavior

It does not error.
MWE
Opening this page leads to a blank page, with error in the console.

from dash import Dash, Input, Output, html, callback

layout = [
    html.Button("Button", id={"component": "button.dot"}),
]


@callback(
    Output({"component": "button.dot"}, "children"),
    Input({"component": "button.dot"}, "n_clicks"),
    prevent_initial_call=True,
)
def test(n):
    return "test"


app = Dash(__name__)
app.layout = layout
app.run()
