Is there a function in the API that will allow me to put a string other than my object's name in the Object'' column in the Max window--I have an object that I would like to behave the same way as the print object.

As you can see, you will not be able to have your object highlight when you double-click its lines in the Max window - which in my opinion is quite a shame...
