How to access widget using their id property?

[dr-sandipan-chowdhury]

Was not able to find a way to use the id property to access the widget. Each time when I do need access to widget, I must save the widget in some kind of variable. I want some feature like "document.getElementById" of Javascript.
I dont know if it is implemented or not...

Is this feature implemented in toga yet?

window.widgets[some_id] will return a widget that is currently part of a given window.

app.widgets[some_id] does the same lookup, over all windows of the app.

However, to be clear: "saving the widget in some kind of variable" is... programming. While ID-based lookup can be convenient in some situations, and is necessary for complex meta-programming cases, for simple apps, storing the widgets you're using as variables is good programming practice, not something to be avoided.
