VTK-9: How to know which VTK COMPONENT contains which VTK class?

In CMakeLists.txt, we call find_package(VTK) to get VTK libraries: worked for me as is with apt-get install VTK package.

Now I need a specific class vtkOpenGLRenderWindow: I had to build VTK from source (this class is not in the default library installed from apt-get). How to know the name of the associated COMPONENT of this given VTK class? What is the XX I need to pass to find_package(VTK COMPONENT XX) ? Is this documented? If yes where (not found)? Are there best practices?

For the record, seems python3 "$VTK_ROOT/Utilities/Maintenance/FindNeededModules.py" -j $VTK_ROOT/build/modules.json -s vtkHelloworld.cpp gives modules to use according to class you need.

No sure this is the correct way… Any better or more exhaustive answer is welcomed
