top level objects and NSWindowController

other than by using outlets, is it possible to gain access to the top level objects in a nib file loaded via an NSWindowController?

i would like to place several custom views in a nib (to be used as various panes in a tab view), and i would like programmatically to determine how many of them there are and get pointers to them when i load the window.

i realize i could switch to using NSNib instead of NSWindowController, but i really really want to use NSWindowController.

also, i realize i can do this by using outlets, but that means editting my source code every time i add another custom view. i also realize that i could add an outlet to my custom views to point to a controller in the nib, and then "register" the custom views in awakeFromNib, but that seems like an extra step if i could simply get the array of top level objects from NSWindowController.

thanx,
ken
