Reference a form by name instead of id

Hi.
I am currently working on some advanced forms where I am using a lot of hooks to target specific forms for various reasons. F.ex. In order to manipulate data for a specific form with gform_pre_render I add the form id like this gform_pre_render_2.
I am building the site on a local machine first, but then when I need to publish this to a live site, the forms have different ids and all my references are wrong.

It would be awesome if there was a different way of targeting a specific form, maybe by a unique name like this: gform_pre_render_$unique_name.

I am guessing that this is not possible, but it would be great if this could be built into Gravity forms. :-)

Thanks
