Sure for general (serverside) ID lookup/find issues I'm always willing
to help out. If I understood correctly, there's no javascript really
involved here right? It's just an EL function?

E.g. that EL function itself will become something like:

#{f:clientId("componentId")}

In OmniFaces we have a couple of find component utility methods, that
basically do relative lookup. My first stab at this would be to use a
method like the following:

https://github.com/omnifaces/omnifaces/blob/master/src/main/java/org/omnifaces/util/Components.java#L203

And then feed UIComponent.getCurrentComponent(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance())
as the first parameter.

This will, starting from the "current component", first look in the
naming container parents and if it fails to find the component there
in the children from the view root, working down.

What do you think?

Kind regards,
Arjan
