Render into a different DOM node with same context.

[jhernandezb]

Actually this is possible in react through
ReactDOM.unstable_renderSubtreeIntoContainer(parent, element, containerNode)
so you can do something like this in the render function

    render (){
      ReactDOM.unstable_renderSubtreeIntoContainer(this, <Component />, document.createElement('div'))
    }

The context is inherited from parent which is very useful when using stores like redux, or mobx.

Is there a way to achieve this in preact?

Sorry I just saw this was recently added.

preactjs/preact-compat#296

FWIW, this is the main selling feature of preact-portal.
