    There _must_ be some sort of method for determining the resources available
    in an application;

There is a (non-standard) hook in the R4 Xt implementation for dynamically
setting name+class properties on widgets, but we didn't get around to writing
an application to do anything with this information, but given such a tree
description, R4 also has an application called "listres" that will print out
widget resources (for core Xt and Athena widgets, but it can be extended to
other widget sets).
