Figure out how to `constructReactInstance` in React 17

[lexidor]

Older versions of React had a different way of creating components. I am almost certain that this doesn't work in React 17. Some research by someone who knows Reacts internals is required to bring this functionality into the modern era.

One of the things that might make things more difficult (or more easy, depending on how you look at it), is how React 17 handles event handlers.

Frustratingly, I never had the opportunity to get to this, but I came across this article deconstructing how React works and felt it might be handy in future if I or others can do so!

I'm doing some long term project planning right now, and will try to get to this in W3 of February 2023.
