Nothing that I am aware of. Also I think you need some naming conventions 
for your debug ids anyways which makes automatic generation difficult. 
Otherwise it will be difficult to write and later understand the UI test if 
debug ids are generic like input-0, input-1, input-2. You also need to 
verify if any of your widgets might already use an ID because of CSS 
styling or element selection using document.querySelector(). This would 
break if you override the ID.

Every widget has onAttach/onDetach/onLoad/onUnload methods you can 
override. You could copy GWT's Widget class into your own source code (keep 
the original package) or give all your widgets a common super class and 
adjust the code to set a debug id. But I think you will quickly realize 
that generating stable but unique debug IDs on that abstract level will be 
difficult. Also widgets usually want debug ids on some internal meaningful 
elements as well, which you do not know at that abstract level.
