Drafting Text Attribute Links

Drafting Text Attribute Links

Drafting Text Attribute Links

(OP)
Hello Friends,
We know how to set an Attribute Link to text box by means of CATScript (.InsertVariable function). Now there is one more scenario where you may want to find which parameter has been linked with text? Any Ideas to do so?
What in my case:-
I have to change Title block of several hundred drawings with the updated one. In my newer Title Block, I have changed the few Parameters and added some more. I have 2 types of old title blocks in my drawings randomly.
Now to update the drawings with new title blocks I have created one master copy of new title block, from which I am copping geometric elements and DUPLICATING all texts to the target drawing's detail sheet. I also DUPLICATING the parameters to target Drawing. What I mean by Duplicating is I am actually creating new objects in target drawing and NOT COPYING from master drawing.
In this process, I want to know If a text among 165 texts have any Attribute Link? If It has then which Parameter is that? In short I want a OBJECT LINK QUERY function to relink the desire textbox with parameter.
