Simple question, how can i get any classname from a string without instantiation ?

```php

//Basically, this is how i do it :
var uselessInstantinationArray = [Example];
ApplicationManager.instance.open(getDefinitionByName("com.example.Example") as Class);

//This is how i Want to do it :
ApplicationManager.instance.open(("Example") as Class);

```
