You mean like "gtk_button_new_with_label()"?

Maybe you could use the g_hash_table functions.

  h = g_hash_table_new(...);
  g_hash_table_insert(h, buttonName, buttonWidget);
  
(later...)
  someButtonWidget = g_hash_table_lookup(h, buttonName);

Just a thought.  I don't think Gtk tracks things by name on its own.
