Use getElementById for elements that have not yet been [DOM] in the DOM?

Question

As far as I know document.getElementById ('myId') will only look for HTML elements that are already in the document. Let's say I created a new element through JS, but I have not added it to the document body yet, is there a way to access this element by its identifier, as usual, with getElementById?

var newElement = document.createElement('div');
newElement.id = 'myId';
// Without doing: document.body.appendChild(newElement);
var elmt = document.getElementById('myId'); // won't work

Is there a workaround for this? (I have to say that I do not want to store links to this particular element, so I need to access it through its identifier)

Thanks!

  var newElement = document.createElement('div');
  doWorkWithDiv(newElement);
}

function doWorkWithDiv(element)
{
  element.className = 'newElementCSS';
  element.innerHTML = 'Text inside newElement';
  addToDoc(element);
