Answer 1

Highcharts 3.0.1

Users can use the highcharts plugin

var chart=$("#container").highcharts();

Highcharts 2.3.4

Read from the Highcharts.charts array, for version 2.3.4 and later, the index of the chart can be found from the data on the

 var index=$("#container").data('highchartsChart');
 var chart=Highcharts.charts[index];

All versions

Track charts in a global object/map by container id

var window.charts={}; 
function foo(){
  new Highcharts.Chart({...},function(chart){  
      window.charts[chart.options.chart.renderTo] = chart;
  });
}

function bar(){
  var chart=window.charts["containerId"];
}

Some additions were made in the newer versions of Highcharts since writing this answer and have been taken from answers from @davertron, @Moes and @Przy, please upvote their comments/answers as they deserve the credit for these. Adding them here as this accepted answer would be incomplete without these
