I hope you do realize the potential security issues that this would
entail.

I still have doubts on the usefulness of this.
the UI definition is integral part of an application; ClutterScript
doesn't also provide any sort of logic inside the UI definition itself -
it's just a definition.

I can add a method like:
gchar **clutter_script_get_ids (ClutterScript *script,
gsize *n_ids);
which returns a newly allocated, NULL-terminated array of strings.
but the ids alone will not give you any detail whatsoever on the object
they are assigned to; you'll have to fetch the object and then check
what it is. and even in that case you'll not know for sure unless you
have some sort of introspection - or any way you can trust what you get
out of a UI definition string or file.
I'd suggest you open a bug on bugzilla.openedhand.com with the API
request and a link to this email, so that we can get some discussion and
keep track of this.
ciao,
Emmanuele.
