How to pass sessionID between worldmap node and ui nodes and maintain browser session on a DB2 page that interacts with a worldmap? (multi user worldmap in db2)

tldr: it is possible to maintain a session with ui nodes from new dashboard 2.0 using msg._client.user. But Worldmap uses its own way(msg._sessionid) to maintain its own sessions. How to communicate sessionID and maintain browser session on a DB2 page that has worldmap in the page ?

According to worldmap's docs, we can use msg._sessionid coming from "Map In" node and do session-specific tasks:

All actions also include a: msg._sessionid property that indicates which client session they came from. Any msg sent out that includes this property will ONLY be sent to that session - so you can target map updates to specific sessions if required. msg._sessionip property that shows the ip of the client that is connected to the session.

Current situation is that: On submit button, the marker/tracks layer generates and shown/mirrored in all browser sessions in different computers(using that ngrok link in address bar).
But I cannot seem to figure out how to draw tracks on submit button on the map for this specific browser session.

I'm possibly missing some obvious thing. usually a worldmap can receive a payload along with msg._sessionid and Only make changes to that session.
for example:

msg.payload = {
    "name": "line42",
    "weight": 2,
    "line": [[60.84769, 27.128244], [60.792881, 27.281022]],
    "lat": 60.84769,
    "lon": 27.128244,
    "dashArray": "0 0",
    "layer": "track1",
    "color": "#808080"
};
msg._sessionid = "f942dbd5-c442-4c8a-bdd7-8145c8a0e937";

but on submit button, i cannot read this map's sessionID but rather i get a different socketid from db2 node.

if nothing works then one way is to build floating buttons,dropdowns and filter ranges inside the worldmap, kindly share insights
TIA!
