You have to ask the process of the app – which System Events knows – for that information.

tell application "System Events"
  tell process "Myapp"
     set visible to true
     return every UI element of front window
     -- return name of every UI element of front window
  end tell 
end tell

The name of the process can be different from the name of the application
