I am trying to Support a little 8×12 pre-existing roof with 4×4's. there are 2×4 plates where I am trying to support, the 4" side down. I would rather not just toenail the 4×4 to the plate, and I know there are brackets, braces, plates, what have you, out there to buy. I have never bought these before so I'm looking for the name of the bracket I am looking for so i can find it in the store. Again, I need to attach a 4×4 post to a 2×4 plate with the 4" side going to sit on top of the 4×4 post.
What kind of bracket am I looking for

I think what you want is a "strap loop". On at least one site it seems to be called a footman loop.

Brackets of the type you want are made. Specifically designed for supporting wall mounted cupboards, white boards, panels etc.
These were spotted in a UK web site for SPUR Shelving. You would have to check if the slot height and spacing on SPUR products matches those of the particular twin slot standards that you are considering.
