Do you mean that you want to be able to take a QStandardItem instance, at
some point in a slot/callback and be able to use a pymel object that is
associated with it? There are a few ways you can approach this and all of
them deal with storing more inforation on your QStandarItems. You can use
setData() to store custom data such as the full dag path or even the pymel
instance itself:
# a class constant
MayaObjectRole = QtCore.Qt.UserRole + 1
MayaPathRole = QtCore.Qt.UserRole + 2
...def foo(self):
...
item = QtGui.QStandardItem()
item.setData(pyMelObject, self.MayaObjectRole)
item.setData(dagPath, self.MayaPathRole)
def bar(self, anItem):
pyMelObject = anItem.data(self.MayaObjectRole)
dagPath = anItem.data(self.MayaPathRole)

I don't see any renaming logic in your code. Are you talking about
responding to renames that happen within Maya, that you want to track and
respond to? Any of this stuff falls into the category of setting up
MMessage callbacks through the Maya API, and responding to those event in
your GUI

Can you explain this question again? What do you mean by swapping its
function? Under what condition would you want to swap the function from one
to another? Can you give a specific example of how you see this happening?
