we could open multi win, and name every win,
but  in the extension API : chrome.windows,there's no any way could get the NAME setted,
how could we do to get the setted name of the window of chrome ?

That feature is quite recent (since Chrome 90).
The Extensions Team is still struggling to produce a working version of MV3 that can be an acceptable replacement of MV2. So, don't expect fancy additions to the API that are not related to the MV3 migration.

Having said that, adding this to the extensions API is quite trivial (just an extra property to the chrome.windows.Window object), so if you submit a feature request, they might actually do it.

The relevant bug is https://crbug.com/1190160. I'd recommend giving it a start to help signal you'd like to see this feature request implemented.
