I'm sure you can do it programmatically. We authored a switch into one
of our products that we enable during development cycles... when you
hover over any c-s element in the UI, it pops up the context ID it's
using for c-s calls. I'm sure the same behavior can be implemented to
pop up the titlebar text string on hover or some other action, or
otherwise make it copyable.
