Can I search entity by feature property in 3dtiles?

If so, how?

This thread has some information about, given a specific tile/feature, how you’d fly the camera to it:

And this one talks about searching through the tileset to find a particular feature:

Can you tell me a bit more about your use case or application? If it’s a common operation you’re doing often at runtime, I wonder if it’d be worth computing like a reference table during tileset creation so it can be looked up easily at runtime.
