How to enable plugins in the view on the frontend was created by Jan van de Laar

I have several components and they all work pretty nice. Now I want to add social sharing buttons to my view and I want to use an existing plugin to generate them. Does anybody know how to accomplish this. The plugin I want to use is ITP-SocialButtons.

You can look at the core Joomla /plugins/content/loadmodule/ plugin that does something similar. You just need to look for a pattern similar to {loadposition custPos} types and you can include pretty much whatever you like into content.

Yep, this circles around to bite me in the backside over 8 years later, lol.
I will need to re-open this question on the forum myself, as {loadposition exampleCustomModulePosition} doesn't work in the recent Joomla 4.x components created by this tool.

This is somewhat helpful, but I need the Joomla library to be more dynamic than this, and I'm sure it is, just trying to find it in docs. (J4)
```<?php echo JHtml::_('content.prepare', '{loadposition examplePosition}'); ?>```
