That's what I was really asking about: how to get notified each time something is created that has a WId. Alternatively I could work with a notification when a new window (NSWindow) is created or one is closed, and then parse the entire list of windows with their NSView and sub-NSViews (or their superView and that critter's subviews). I've tried googling, but until now I've only come up with searches that give way too many irrelevant hits.
