Is this the problem that Purr-data and CICM tried to solve?
Purr Data uses a generic interface for speaking to the GUI.
The spec for Purr Data's communication from Pd to the GUI is here:

Both the current Pure Data and Purr Data interface use drawing primitives. The PDCon2016 discussion was about replacing it with somewhat more high-level, like 'draw me a standard object box with X name, Y inlets and Z outlets'.
The Purr Data approach would still be used for custom GUI objects.
