so "setText("speaker", "foo") would call speaker.setText("foo")?

D doesn't support this directly, however you could do it manually

void setText(char[] name, char[] text)
{
	switch(name)
	{
		case "speaker": speaker.setText(text); break;
		case "radio":     radio.setText(text); break;
		default: assert(false);
	}
}
