And you can do this just by binding the keys to switch-client - but you
will need to identify the windows in some way. If they are always in the
same place or have a unique name you could just do:
tmux bind M-1 switch-client -t mysession:99
Or mysession:buildwindow if the name is always the same.
Alternatively you could mark them in some way eg with a user option, like
set -w @buildwindow yes, then look for them with a script, something like:
W=$(tmux lsw -aF '#{@buildwindow} #{pane_id}'|awk '/^yes/ {print $2}')
[ -n "$W" ] && tmux switch-client -t $W
