Is xylem sap pulled through stomata (transpiration pull) or is it more accurate to say only water is pulled?

My reasoning is this: xylem sap is a solution of water and dissolved minerals but only water is pulled through stomata by transpirational pull, so technically xylem sap is not pulled through stomata, only a component of it is. In other words, water has already been removed from the xylem sap by the time it leaves through the stomata.
