I would suggest writing the method information to files when you build the
component. Create some JSON files with the method paths and other information
that would allow you to emulate the METHOD * commands.
I'm working on something like this where the goal would be to have "modules"
maintained in a component. If changes are needed, the all or part of the module
is loaded in the host. The host methods will automatically be used over the
component calls, so you don't have to stop what you are doing to change the
component. The final step will be automation of removing the methods from the
host and merging them back in the component. Having a on disk representation
allows git or some other VCS to be part of the process.

FORM LOAD("form";*) ?
