No. An arbitrary number of named contexts can occur in the text, and
some are implicitly named anyway. So you want to change _all_ contexts
of a given type in \layout and/or derive a new context type (aaVoice or
so) and then use \new aaVoice ... in the score.

A _style_ is something affecting _all_ contexts of a given type, not
just particular contexts with a particular id.
And of course you can to
mylayout = \layout { ... }
at the top and then use it as a layout definition afterwards.
