I'd recommend to think you are working in an object system, rather than in
the DOM. What do you need those references for?
If you want to change properties of a widget, make the containing widget
maintain that through a stored reference.
If you need to trigger changes between unrelated objects (ie. objects which
are not part of the same hierarchy), set up custom events that one object
can fire and the other listens to, use data binding, or Command objects.
Generally, think of good OO practices like MVC, Law of Demeter, etc.
Sifting through search results isn't idiomatic qooxdoo, IMO (presuming you
are using qx.Desktop - qx.Website is a different story).
