I'd like to read out the generated property strings for features, the ones in the ItemProviders that look like "_UI_EClassName_featureName_feature", but I have only given the feature itself, not an instance of an object with that feature, so I can't get to the item provider. Is there any other way that I can use to find the corresponding Edit plugin to find the resource string?

Oh, maybe the only other way is to find the edit plugin symbolic name via the GenModel, using org.eclipse.emf.ecore.plugin.EcorePlugin.getEPackageNsURIToGenModelLocationMap() and then reflection galore.

Hi

Yes. You can try to duplicate the name synthesis and can often get it right, but for difficult cases involving disambiguation of names, it is much much safer to re-use the algorithm that GenModel used in the first place.
