You could install the object_info kfuns 
http://www.eyesbeyond.com/dgd/object_info-1-1.1.tar.gz
and use the inherits kfun (which returns a list of the programs that 
are inherited by an object).

This is still for 1.1, but I'm sure I have an updated version for the
experimental line of dgd.  Contact me if thats what you need it for.
