Message-List quilt customization

Hello, I am working on a performance improvement on some of our code.

Here is the thing, I tried to override the Message-list component and I know that is an OOB quilt component that contains the messages.column.thread-info component. Debugging on console I can output the messages Ids from the messages.column.thread-info component. Because of logical purposes, I need to access the list of messages from Message-list.

Is there a variable, cache info, or any parameter that I can get the messages full list from the message-list override component?

As I am not able to see the OOB code, also I want to ask where the message list data is being loaded? how it is passed to messages.column.thread-info?
