I have some fun here for those who search for game objects and components in the scenes using Unity:

GameObject.Find("") , FindObjectOfType<> , GetComponent<>

Or any other searching method. And since searching for objects and components is a high cost operation and annoying for some people. This is a very simple and easy pattern that will make the process easier.
We start with making a class StaticObject, which holds the game object, its name, and a reference to its components that we will need to use.

And then we create a class AllStaticObjects, which holds a list of the StaticObject to assign in the inspector, and an indexer to search for the desired game object by its name.

Second step is creating a class StaticObjectComponent, which holds a component and its name. Then a class AllComponents, which holds a list of, StaticObjectComponent to assign in the inspector, and an indexer to search for the desired component by its name.

Of course we don't forget to mark all the classes as 

[System.Serializable]

So that they be displayed in the inspector.

In our manager script, we make a singleton, and a public reference to AllStaticObjects class to assign them from the inspector. Now, if we want to access a game object we can just type it like this:

GameObject ui =(GameObject)StaticObjectsManager.Instance.AllObjects["UI Canvas"].TheGameObject;

if we want to access a component, we will do:

var animation = (Animation)StaticObjectsManager.Instance.AllObjects["UI Canvas"].AllComponents["Animation"].Component;

This is the full code.
