A name is a well defined lexical entity in Python:
a sequence of letters, '_' and digits, starting with
a letter or '_'.

What you want to say:
attributes can be referenced with more general entities
than names, e.g. arbitrary strings.
But:
Try to define a method(!) "index.html" in a class.
I know, it is possible. But it is not natural.
