title: In React, is it possible to store a ref in a context?
body: <p>I need global app-wide access to a VideoElement to play it on user events on browsers like Safari and was wondering if storing the VideoElement in a context would be the best way to do that. I programmatically play my video through a redux action and in Safari that is not possible unless it has been played once through a user triggered event (like a click)</p>
  <p>Is it possible to store an element (ref) within a context? The VideoElement will be then rendered within the component which I want to have my video, and then other components will also have access to the context and be able to call functions such as <code>usePlayVideo</code> that based on the context's state, will either call videoElement.play() if this is the first time the video is being played, or dispatch the redux action to play the video programmatically otherwise</p>
