Vue3 component with 'is router link' ref returns a proxy instead of an object

Question

I'm kinda new with vue so I'm trying to use the good practices, but I have a quick question:

I'm using a component object with a ternary making it either a section or a router-link, and this component object has a ref I need to do some stuff with it.

In the case the component is a section, ref will return the object and I will be able to do my stuff, but in the case it's a router-link the ref returns a Proxy.

How can I get the same object that I get when it's section when I get Proxy returned?

EDIT:

Template:

<template>
    <component :is="(isLink)?'router-link':'section'" :to="(isLink != null)?link:''" ref="pop_target">
</template>

in mounted:

contentPop(this.$refs.pop_target, true) // First arg is an html object
