Is it possible to directly pull liquid tag from an available collection of items without looping

Question

I'm wondering if it is possible to directly render a liquid tag from an available collection of items without first looping through those items.
So lets say I output a webapp module to a collection and I know I just want to get the first item's name from those item/s (perhaps the webapp is intended to only store one item for example).
Could I do something like:
{{webapp_1.items[0].name}}
Or a particular item number, say the 3rd item:
{{webapp_1.items[2].name}}

Answer 1

Ah ok I see now. I was using the object name (webapp_1) I saw in the {{this | json}} output BEFORE I made a collection for the webapp.
So why does this data look to be available in the json output before assigning a collection but it can't be accessed by liquid until a collection is made, and when a collection is made it changes the object name in the json from 'webapp_1' to 'myCollection' ... whereas the globals object is available but there is no collection for it as such???
