How to read hal pin from embedded panel from an other component

This might be a very complex question or just a very simple one.
I want to build a universal debug panel as embedded tab. As the panel should be universal and should be able to show also hal pin from other components, I need to get the component hal pin.
If I do this code in the py file of the embedded tab called "debug_panel", embedded in gmoccapy:
I get True for gmoccapy, debug_panel, abs and False for motion.
The strange is, that I get for all components the same ID, something like this:
If I try to read a PIN from gmoccapy as gmoccapy.blockheigt like this:I get an error like:If I try a integer, I just get the corresponding letter of the component name.
Is there a way to read a hal pin from an component outside the own component?
A signal would also be OK, but first I will need to get the "component address" and all my test have failed till now.
Appreciate your help.

print(hal.component_exists("gmoccapy"))
print("gmoccapy = ", hal_glib.GComponent("gmoccapy"))
print(hal.component_exists("debug_panel"))
print("timer = ", hal_glib.GComponent("debug_panel"))
print(hal.component_exists("abs"))
print("abs = ", hal_glib.GComponent("abs"))
print(hal.component_exists("motion"))
print("motion = ", hal_glib.GComponent("motion"))I get True for gmoccapy, debug_panel, abs and False for motion.
The strange is, that I get for all components the same ID, something like this:

The component name for motion is "motmod"
I don't know if the hal python interface is documented anywhere but here:
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/hal/halmodule.html

Hello,
Did you manage to read the values of PINs and/or Signals and use them in external software in "real time" (miliseconds range)?
I am currently developing kind of a digital twin of a cnc machine and I am struggeling with this topic.
Best Regards

Hi,
Here is a c++ example.
1. It finds a component by name.
2. It can retrieve a value of a component item.
3. It shows how to retrieve the servo-time

For example c++: //! Get pin value example
if (halpr_find_pin_by_name("matrix.time") != 0) {
std::cout << "matrix.time found!" << std::endl;
