Cannot access Bootstrap 5 bs.popover data with jQuery

I was using bootstrap 3 and 4 and wanted to close all popovers when user clicked anywhere else on the page. I used https://stackoverflow.com/a/21007629/166231 (and 3rd comment) as a guide to implement a solution.

    const hideVisiblePopover = function(): void {
        const visiblePopover = KatApp[ "visiblePopover" ];
        // Just in case the tooltip hasn't been configured
        if ( visiblePopover === undefined || $(visiblePopover).data("bs.popover") === undefined ) return;
    
        // Call this first b/c popover 'hide' event sets visiblePopover = undefined
        if ( that.bootstrapVersion == 3 ) {
            $(visiblePopover).data("bs.popover").inState.click = false
        }
        $(visiblePopover).popover("hide");
    };

And my event handlers I set up on the div container of all my markup are:

    application.element
        .on("show.bs.popover.RBLe", function() { hideVisiblePopover(); })
        .on("shown.bs.popover.RBLe", function( e ) { 
            KatApp[ "visiblePopover"] = e.target; 
        })
        .on("hide.bs.popover.RBLe", function() { 
            KatApp[ "visiblePopover"] = undefined; 
        });

However, with bootstrap 5, my attempt to get the bs.popover with this line:

$(visiblePopover).data("bs.popover")

Returns undefined. Is there a different place to look for this now?

For anyone that finds this, I solved by using:

bootstrap.Popover.getInstance(visiblePopover)
