Нет - кроме использования eval
Я не знаю другого способа пройтись по дереву объектов в JavaScript, кроме как построить обходчик - к счастью, это легко сделать:
/**
* Walks down an object tree following a provided path.
* Throws an error if the path is invalid.
*
* @argument obj {Object} The object to walk.
* @argument path {String} The path to walk down the provided object.
* @argument return_container {Boolean} Should walk return the last node *before* the tip
* (i.e my_object.my_node.my_other_node.my_last_node.my_attribute)
* If `true` `my_last_node` will be returned, rather than the value for `my_attribute`.
* @returns {Mixed} Object or the value of the last attribute in the path.
*/
function walk_path(obj, path, return_container) {
return_container = return_container || false;
path = path_to_array(path, ".");
var ln = path.length - 1, i = 0;
while ( i < ln ) {
if (typeof obj[path[i]] === 'undefined') {
var err = new ReferenceError("The path " + path.join(".") + " failed at " + path[i] + ".");
err.valid_path = path.slice(0,i);
err.invalid_path = path.slice(i, ln+1);
err.breaking_point = path[i];
throw err;
} else {
var container = obj;
obj = obj[path[i]];
i++;
}
}
// If we get down to the leaf node without errors let's return what was asked for.
return return_container ? container : obj[path[i]];
};
/**
* path_to_array
*
* @argument path {string} A path in one of the following formats:
* `path/to/file`
* `path\\to\\file`
* `path.to.file`
* `path to file`
* @argument sep {string} optional A seperator for the path. (i.e. "/", ".", "---", etc.)
*
* If `sep` is not specified the function will use the first seperator it comes across as the path seperator.
* The precedence is "/" then "\\" then "." and defaults to " "
*
* returns {Array} An array of each of the elements in the string ["path", "to", "file"]

Тогда просто назовите это так:
walk_path(my_object, "path.to.my.function")();
