Answer 1

I came up with this which works quite well

def getWidgetByClassName(name):
    widgets = QApplication.instance().topLevelWidgets()
    widgets = widgets + QApplication.instance().allWidgets()
    for x in widgets:
        if name in str(x.__class__).replace("",""):
            return x
def getWidgetByObjectName(name):
    widgets = QApplication.instance().topLevelWidgets()
    widgets = widgets + QApplication.instance().allWidgets()
    for x in widgets:
        if str(x.objectName) == name:
            return x
def getObjects(name, cls=True):
    import gc
    objects = []
    for obj in gc.get_objects():
        if (isinstance(obj, PythonQt.private.QObject) and
            ((cls and obj.inherits(name)) or
             (not cls and obj.objectName() == name))):
            objects.append(obj)
    return objects
