When connecting a call_back to a control - say, a button, a valid pointer to the call_back must be available at that time. It's stored in the control structure itself. Naturally, it's easier and neater if you do that connecting at the same time (and place) that you create the control. All other properties of a control can be set at that point without difficulty.

Also, it gets real tedious to have to type "call_back(routine_id("xxx"))" over and over, when something like: connect("OKButton", "clicked", "MyFunction") would be so much nicer.

Having the connect function look up the pointer (handle) to "OKButton" by name is easy, but getting a pointer to "MyFunction" seems impossible.
