ionic angular 8 get component instance

I've tried different ways to get the component instance after creating a modal using ionic and angular, however nothing worked for me. Could you please help me to understand, how can I get a component instance reference after creting a modal? The sample code is listed below:

const modal = await this.modalController.create({
component: MyCustomComponent,
cssClass: "some-css-class",
componentProps:
{
item: item
},
backdropDismiss: false
});

modal.canDismiss = async (data?: any, roleDismiss?: string) => {
let can = false;
return new Promise<boolean>(resolve => resolve(can));
}


for example, in the canDismiss handler I'd like to verify some actual component instance properties, however I can't seem to find a proper way of doing this. How can I access the MyCustomCompnent instance after creating the modal?

I'm using ionic angular 8, angular 18.1.3
