I'm trying to build a new plugin and I got myself a question about managing multiple windows inside a single tab (hope the terms are correct).

So far the examples and projects I've explored trying to get a grasp of what I would call window life-cycle did not clarified how can one keep track of multiple ones.

The effect I'm trying to replicate is:

User will be presented with 4 windows (splits)

+---+---+
| 1 | 2 |
+---+---+
| 3 | 4 |
+---+---+

The "window 1" would present a list of entries and whatever line the User presses the other windows how render different data/information

Based on that the question is: Do we have a mechanism to associate a "nickname"/label a window? Maybe a number reference? OR we would track/distinct window based solely on their position placed on the tab?
