components in embeds are used as anonymous without its model - is this good practice and makes sense?

In a custom embed

class ImageEmbed extends SharpFormEditorEmbed
{
    // use WithSharpFormEloquentUpdater;

    public function buildEmbedConfig(): void
    {
        $this->configureLabel('image embed')
            ->configureTagName('x-image-embed-component')
            ->configureIcon('file')
            ->configureTemplate('components.image-embed-component')
        ;
    }

    public function buildFormFields(FieldsContainer $formFields): void
    {
        $formFields->addField(
            SharpFormTextareaField::make('text')
                ->setRowCount(8)
        )->addField(
            SharpFormUploadField::make('image')
            ->setImageOnly(true)
            ->setStorageDisk('local')
            ->setStorageBasePath('data/posts/{id}/embed')
            ->setImageCompactThumbnail(true)
            ->setImageTransformable(true)
            // ->setHasLegend()
        )->addField(
            SharpFormSelectField::make('imageOrientation',[
                'right' => 'Right',
                'left' => 'Left'
            ])
        );
    }

    public function updateContent(array $data = []): array
    {


        $this->validate($data, [
            'text' => 'required',
            'image' => 'required',
            'imageOrientation' => 'required'
        ]);


        return $data;
    }
}

I want to use the x-image-embed-component with the variables in this embed. However I would like to prepare the data in the component model
app/View/Components/imageEmbedComponent.php

It does use the component blade but not its model. I am guessing that it has something to do with the rendering pipeline, but I after some time trying I ran out of ideas how to approach this.
I looked at
vendor/code16/sharp/src/View/Components/Image.php
and its component
resources/views/vendor/sharp/components/image.blade.php

Does a "SharpFormEditorEmbed" extended instance only call anonymous components and have to use the transformers? If so how?

I am also looking for advice if you can spare one. Is this good practice for a project using sharp?

Thanks a lot!

If you want to convert it to a Media (extending SharpUploadModel) you must JSON decode + create an instance in the component. There is an example in the demo (in blade) : https://github.com/code16/sharp/blob/main/demo/resources/views/components/author.blade.php.
Of course you can do this operation in a class component if you need.

Thanks for that! I did not see this while skimming through the demo. This will be helpful already! Thanks!

This is what I was trying. In your example with the author.blade.php how would you make sure that in a custom embed class like mine above the component class would be used instead of an anonymous component?
