Research direction

The issue requests a new React hook named usePortal that abstracts the creation of React portals. Start by reviewing existing hooks in the repository (e.g., src/hooks/ directory) to understand the project's hook structure. Implement a usePortal hook that utilizes ReactDOM.createPortal, ensuring it handles dynamic mounting and cleanup. Consider edge cases like multiple portals or portal target selection. There are no linked PRs or comments providing additional context, so assume standard React portal behavior.
