It is possible if you use the DTML parser from an external method. It
returns a list of blocks representing the tags in a parsed form. You
could in theory loop through this parsed data and extract the names of
the called objects.

Take a look at the parse method of the DT_String module in
lib/python/DocumentTemplate. DTML Docs and methods subclass the String
class, so you could call it externally on these objects.

BTW: Please don't post HTML messages to the list. You will get less flak
and more responses with plain text.
