Not sure if there is a faster way but I usually use Python and get all elevation markers, then check their views until I find it (then I use a break statement or a function return) and that will be the views marker if any.

The method to ask a marker for its views is as follows:

Thank you! It’s perfect for now.  
I wondered if there is something similar like [from family type return\> family] or [from element return\> host] for elevation views \> elevation marker.
