"Directly" meaning to ask the X server to find a window by name?
I don't think so. You might want to track down the source to xwininfo (a
standard X client -- should be in XFree86 distributions) to see how it
finds a window by name, but I think it searches... and it doesn't take
very long. The named windows are grandchildren of the root window, so
you don't need to search very deeply.
