Another way is to get the list size at runtime and then enumerate all the children of the List. For efficient purpose, it is better to be implemented at the Engine side so that you can get back all the information in one method call, which would be at least tens of times faster. Also, I prefer to name this method as takeSnapShot(uid), which is really to take a snapshot of the UI module.
However, you are encouraged to go ahead to implement your own idea because it may take a while for us to get there.
