You could access 'do as javascript' in a browser widget
from LCB - just use the 'execute script' command (although
there are places where you cannot use that form - in OnCreate,
OnDestroy, OnLoad, OnSave, OnPaint - just because they are
critical handlers in which you don't things to get shaken
up too much).

The canvas library basically wraps our C wrapper (libgraphics)
around Skia, so LCB is only being used as the 'glue' there.

Warmest Regards,
