What do you mean dynamically? When you use heat, you are uncoupling
the explicit contents of a component for example, however you know
you are using heat (you invoked it) as such the component reference is
known ahead of time. The actual contents can remain dynamic.

I have a project where we dynamically generate all the wix source but in
this case the component references are inserted in the same way that heat
invocations are inferred and invoked.
