 Of course. You've hit on a core concept in UI/UX design: the Component Library or Design System.

UI interface styles (like Tabs and Wizards) and text styles (like Bullets) are just two categories of components. A full user interface is built from a wide array of these reusable, standardized elements.

Here is a comprehensive table of more of these fundamental UI components, categorized for clarity.
