You seem to throw to issues together again. the unique handle issue is 
solvable without this. This is only needed to get a complete list of 
snippets...

I got the feeling, that this feature may not happen (but I have no 
knowledge). I do not eve know if it can be done, since the compiler does 
not even know the entire list of all callers. That is the linker. and 
the linker is platform dependent, and at least on some platforms not 
part of fpc  (At least as far as I know).

Anyway: lets get pack to your problem.

You need a list of all snippets (or a list of IDs that can be mapped 1 
to 1 to the snippets).

I haven't got the solution....

But I can suggest 2 topics for investigations

1) Resourcestrings.

You do not need to use the po attempt. BUt I would EXPECT that it is 
possible (and you can write your own code for that) to get a list of all 
resource strings in the app. So there would be the table you need.

The IDE can help you to create resourestrings from the constants in the 
code (though it is a bit of work)

2) The new extended RTTI? I have no idea. I do not even know how ready 
it is. It may not apply at all.... BUt you could ask around

3) Write your own pre-processor
