Description
Currently, accessing a plugin's or stream's config from outside their creation requires iterating through the list of plugins/streams in order to find the one that matches what you're looking for, because their configs are in a yaml list where every element is generically named plugin or stream. It would allow for easier access if they were listed by their name.
For example, instead of
server:
plugins:
- plugin:
name: ait.gui.AITGUIPlugin
inputs:
- telem_stream
- log_stream
outputs:
- command_stream
it would be
server:
plugins:
- ait.gui.AITGUIPlugin:
inputs:
- telem_stream
- log_stream
outputs:
- command_stream

Research direction
Start by locating the server configuration parser and the YAML handling for plugins and streams. Compare the current generic plugin/stream list shape with the name-keyed shape shown in the issue; done means the requested configuration form is accepted and external lookup no longer requires iterating through the lists.
