Recursive routing (Seeing if tanstack router works for our project)
In our project we have recursive routes and I can't seem to find an example of it in the docs
This isn't our app but it gets the concept across
Imagine an app that shows you a person say '/person/$id'
Then on that page you can open a sub page in an outlet that shows the details of that first person's child
With out existing react-router we can do this and just keep opening subtrees
Can you do this in tanstack router and if so can you link me to where I can read about it?

At that point I suspect you lose type safety and can't autocomplete to different routes from one of those recursive routes?
person/1/person/2/hobbies or something like that

yes, there wont be autocomplete
cc @Chris Horobin any idea if this woud be possible in a typesafe manner?
can you please explain how you do it in react-router?
