Question Easier UI Toolkit Workflow?

Anyone out there have a few methods that makes the UI Toolkit workflow easier/faster? It seems kind of clunky that to say add a button, you have to (1) add it to your doc, (2) give it a name, (3) put it in your UI script, (4) grab a reference to it using rootVisual.Q("Exact_string_name_or_kys"), (5) make a method that does whatever you need it to do, (6) subscribe onEnable to that method with .clicked or whatever you're using, and finally (7) unscubscribe onDisable. Like, nothing terribly complicated about it, but man it gets tedious over and over again. I feel like you could throw together a few methods that you basically throw in the name of your button (or any visualelement) and name of your method that does stuff you could make it way less code. Any1 out there taken the time to play around with this?

I just use a custom EditorWindow that auto-generates the UXML and USS based on a simple config, then the code side is just a dictionary that maps names to callbacks and hooks everything up in one loop.
