I was curious as to whether or not I could link several controls to one
Outlet in IB, and then refer to them with by that outlet and an index or
some other reference. I have four static text fields and four buttons
(though this number may grow) -- each button is connected to the same
action, and I was wondering if there was any way to use the sender
parameter in the action message to get a reference to its accompanying
field. Brute force would work of course, I'm just looking for something
more elegant and requiring less conditional code.

In this type of situation, I usually shove the views into an NSArray. I seem to remember someone releasing an IB Palette that would let you instantiate collection objects in your nib file and hook them up to a bunch of outlets. You might try searching the archives for it (can't remember the name, tho).
