Is there a way to avoid re-creating the dropped item?

Is there a way to move the dropped component rather than creating it anew?

At least from following the examples, it seems when dropping an item, the component always gets re-evaluated or re-created. I'm wondering if there's a way to memoize that, or unmount-and-remount, rather than it being a fresh child component. But I might be thinking about this wrong...

I'll make a quick codesandbox to show the behavior I'm asking about.

Here's a quick contrived example. When you drop the item, notice that the timestamp is different / more recent. https://codesandbox.io/s/demonstration-of-component-re-creation-upon-drop-pp82gj?file=/src/App.jsx

Is there a way to make it so the same component instance is used, upon drop? In terms of the example, if the same component instance was used, the timestamp would not change (since Solid.js does not re-execute the actual component functions except when the component is [re-]created)
