Does anyone know how to query if the hypershade property editor is open?

I'd like to query if the hypershade property editor is open.

deleteUI LookdevPropertyPanel; works to close it, but I can't figure out what the name of that window is to query if it exists. I've tried

lsUI -windows;

lsUI -panels;

lsUI -editors

lsUI -controls -controlLayouts;

And can't seem to find the name of it.

It appears to be a control, I'm not sure why it didn't come up using lsUI -controls. Either way here is how to find it.

if (`control -exists LookdevPropertyPanel`) { print "Yes\n"; } else { print "No\n"; }

And the command to open it is HypershadeOpenPropertyEditorWindow;
