Is it possible to declare an object using a string? I have some inherited classes and want to set the object based on a value passed, rather than doing a switch statement like this.

function getObject(properties) {
    switch (properties.objectType) {
          case "object1":
                return new object1();
                break;
          case "object2":
                return new object2();
                break;
     }
}

I would rather do something like this

function getObject(properties) {
    return new Object.create(properties.objectType);

    //or
    //return new [properties.objectType](); 
}
