Named components use an array of single mappings (as in entries with
single mapping flag set) - Input ID is irrelevant.

Not sure what your named component is though and what you want to do
with it, the fact that IORT allows mapping for named components do
not necessarily mean that it can describe what your system really is,
on that you need to elaborate for us to be able to help.
