Is there a pd messages / C api call to query whether any instance of a abstraction exists? I mainly need to know if a specific object is alive somewhere and without any global variable messaging etc as I don’t want to modify the abstraction itself.

"exists" as in "instantiated" or "lives on the filesystem" (either in Pd's search path or outside it?)?
