Using a String to Instantiate an object in Greenfoot?

So, as part of my college coursework we are working in teams to develop simplistic games in Greenfoot, partly to develop on teamwork skills, and partly for actual programming.
Our game features a perlin/simplex generated map to render tessellated terrain tiles for our gameplay, however I need a way to reference the tiles individually, in order for a given tile to interact with it's neighbours.
Is there an easy way I can instantiate a worldTile object by passing a string such as their x/y coordinates (eg ter_12_142)? Or is there a simpler method to go about this?

Here's my code for placing tiles in the world;

private void tilePlacement() {

  for (int y = 1; y < rows - 1; y++) {
    for (int x = 2; x < cols - (cols / 4); x++) {

      int w = (getColor(noise[x][y][0]));
      int isAForest = (isForest(noise[x][y][1]));

      addObject(new worldTile(w, isAForest), x * scl, y * scl);

    }
  }
}

please post your code _in_ the question, not as a link. if it's too big, reduce it to provide a [mcve] – Jean-François Fabre Jan 10 '17 at 20:38
It is in the question, using the "attach code snippet" thing that Stackoverflow provides. Apologies if this is inappropriate use of the tool. *changed snippet default setting* – Dapperbrick Jan 10 '17 at 20:44
maybe, but now the question is much better. – Jean-François Fabre Jan 10 '17 at 20:45
