The Document API at https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/document/document has a way to create a new NamedRange via addNamedRange. However, retrieving this information later is hard when the use case is "give the NamedRanges in the given Range". The only way is to slowly iterate through all NamedRanges via getNamedRanges(), resulting in timeouts.

This makes NamedRanges unusable for bigger documents and I hit this problem with my add-on Super Styles.

I'd want methods like Document.getNamedRangesPartiallyInRange(name, range) and getNamedRangesPartiallyInRange(range). These would return partial overlaps, ie., the named range is not totally within the given range object; a check if the range is fully within the given range can be at worst coded by the developer if they so wish, even though doing so is not trivial.

Though, the API could also add an extra parameter for different behavior ("partial overlap" or "fully within the given range").
