Maybe this kind of usage of lavaan is not very common, but in order to help others in my situation, is this documented somewhere? My understanding of latent variable analysis is indeed limited, but I did not understand that lavaan worked liked this when I read the documentation.
This is not specific to lavaan; the same strategy would work in other (commercial) software as well.
But of course, lavaan needs better documentation. If only there was more time...
