[R] How to get a specific named element in a nested list

Hello,

I have a nested named list structure, like the following:

x <- list(
	list(
	   list(df1,df2)
	   list(df3,
		list(df4,df5))
	list(df6,df7)))

with df1...d7 as data frames. Every data frame is named.

Is there a way to get a specific named element in x?

so, for example,

x[[c("df5")]] gives me the data frame 5?

Thank you in advance!

Best,
Friedericksen
