Finding vi running in subpanel from a subpanel control reference?

Question

I've poked around considerably and cannot find a way to take a control reference to a subpanel control and get the vi reference for the current vi running inside the subpanel.
I know I can save this locally inside the vi containing the subpanel (from the invoke node call to insertvi), but I'm wanting to do this externally from an app that just has references to all the controls.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

If I'm interpreting you correctly, you would like to find the VI reference of the subpanel VI based off one if it's control references that has been passed to some external application from the VI that contains the subpanel VI?  See the attached VIs for an example if this is the case.
"VI with subpanel" passes a control reference to "SubVI" which can then get the reference to the "VI in subpanel".
