EQTypes for everything seen on screen as part of the default UI come from the xml files. If it has an EQType, the XML uses the EQType.

EQTypes were added in the background for some things not part of the default UI - buff name labels, for example - and some things that are manipulated as part of the UI but in the background - In-bag locations, bank slot contents. Info on those came from devs, or experimentation.

Lots and lots of parts of the UI don't have EQTypes and can only be manipulated within their own windows. Combat status. Target con indicator. Cash. Further digging around won't get them discovered - because they don't exist.
