So I have no reason to use Loader to load pages dynamically but was thinking of keeping them all statically in a map, so that I can switch page based on the name of the page (e.g "WelcomeScreen") by calling some function or perhaps emitting a signal with the name as argument.

For this use cases (and others), I usually use one of the ObjectModel, DelegateModel or Package (or the older VisualDataModel). They are wonderful for creating models containing QML object and they can created as you want. Also DelegateModel can contains groups so you can filter them, and Package let you to name the items so you can access using dot syntax: views.foo, views.bar
In your case, I will use DelegateModel and access using numeric index, but you can also explore Package and use the attached propertied Package.name to give a name to all the views.

Ciao,
Gianluca.
