Describe the bug

Many third-party scripts are initialising global objects allowing to use its methods and properties (e.g. AppcuesBundleSettings.accountId).
Unfortunately object or non-functional object property can't be forwarded it seems.
Example of object:

const Foo {
  id: '123',
  func: () => {}
}

So Foo.func can be forwarded and used, while Foo.id isn't accessible.
Tried to set it in all the following ways with no luck (either returns 'undefined' or function definition from partytown):

partytown = {
  forward: ['Fooj', 'Foo.id'],
  globalFns: ['Foo', 'Foo.id']
};

Workaround using custom events to pass information or call objects from the main thread to Partytown or vice versa.

@mdrmtz Can you give an example of a custom event usage for this?
Do you mean calling window.postMessage from a loaded via partytown script and send an object inside?

Using loadScriptsOnMainThread isn't an option really when we can just not use partytown for it. It is more like a workaround when we want a tag script being called via partytown while the loaded script on the main thread. Not sure how much optimisation it provides.
