  You can either use the componentref/gadget tag in a
XulForm or you can create your own Luxor XUL tag
plugin. See http://petra.sourceforge.net/tutorial.html
for details on how to create your own tags. It's not
rocket science.

  Again if you want to use an external component it's
best to create a plugin and than contribute it back to
the Luxor community. 

  If you want to store all components from a XUL file
in a single map/hash table you likely have to extend
Luxor.
