I think there is a way to save what you call a "type".
Now it's a little bit difficult to achieve perhaps.
You should open the lybrary part, for example "window 18.gsm", edit manually all the parameters in the gdl editor and save that library part as new one, for example "window type 1.gsm"
It's a sort of making a "snapshot" of the parameters you want to use for that object.
A good step forward in this direction would be the chance to save all the parameters of a "type" on a xml file and recall from object user interface, like "call parameters from a file" button.

There is no way to change properties of elements by changing favorites.

It can then be edited directly in the schedule.
You can even use the schedules as an advanced Find & Select.
Set up a schedule to find all windows that are - 1400x1200, opening inside, white colour, triple glass - use these as your search criteria.
Add a field that shows the 'Type' parameter and then you can edit them all to be the code that you want - either directly in the schedule (one by one) or you can highlight all of the windows in the schedule and use the 'show and select in plan or 3D' buttons to select all the windows and edit the parameter at once for all selected windows.
Now you can just change the selection criteria to find other window types.
Not the most elegant solution but until we get the option to Find & Select by object parameters this will have to do.

ID cannot be used for this purpose. If you insert a window with ID W-1 the next you insert will have ID W-2. W-3, W-4 etc.... This is a headache.
