outputs is not correctly set when its name contains a full stop

[PetitLepton]

Description

When the output of a node contains a full stop, for example my.dataset, the visualization breaks by having the wrong name for the data set, in the example my, and the data set is not linked to the node.

Context

Creating a simple pipeline.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a pipeline whose single node is

from kedro.pipeline import Pipeline, pipeline, node


def create_pipeline(**kwargs) -> Pipeline:
    return Pipeline([node(lambda s: s, inputs="first", outputs="first.out")])

Expected Result

One should have seen first.out as the output data set of the node.

Actual Result

@PetitLepton In Kedro, . has a special meaning and indicate namespace pipeline which is why it is disconnected in viz, because the input is not namespaced but the output is. (as you can see, viz think that there is a "First" namespace pipeline)) https://docs.kedro.org/en/stable/tutorial/add_another_pipeline.html

As an alternative you may name your output as first_output.
