The European hinges on my kitchen cabinet doors are held in place with wood screws that anchor into plastic inserts – see the picture below. The one on the right is cracked. I would like to replace it but I do not know what it is called. What are these little plastic insert/anchors called? Thanks.
(The yellow/translucent stuff stuck on the cabinet door near the anchor on the right seems to be glue that someone else tried to use to repair the split anchor. The anchors themselves fit in the holes, like the one on the left.)

They are called plastic dowels
There are different sizes for different brands of hinges. Also note that they take special screws.
Search hinge plastic dowels and add the brand of hinge, if you know it.
