There is no easy solution for this.

 

I checked using the VBA editor to see what objects are accessible from the SketchedSymbol, and the parent is in fact always the sheet.

 

Also, there is never any view information that gets associated with the sketched symbol; the closest you can get is the coordinates of the leader points which attach it to something.

 

This leaves you with the whole trouble of trying to find what object on the sheet actually has a line or point at those same coordinates.

 

This means Rikard's solution is likely as close as you are going to get unless you find a better way to get the associated object for 2 given work points.

 

Good luck.
