How can i use powershell embedded parameters?

Question

$b = "a00000"

Now due to a complicated application, i want to access $a00000.ID The application stores a return object inside a variablename (which is a string value of another)

When i try "$b" it shows the value, but $"$b".ID is an error ${$b}.ID is also an error $'"$b"'.ID is also an error

How do i access value of $a00000.ID given that previously $b=a00000 ? (one variable name is assigned by a previous string value)
