MATLAB: How to get the figure handle of a Scope window programmatically, given only the Scope block’s full path name

Question

I've got the full path name of a Scope block as it is returned by find_system(…), e.g. 'myModel/Scope1'.

In order to manipulate the corresponding Scope window using set(…), I need the handle of that window. Is there some way to call get_param('myModel/Scope1', unknownparameternamehere) to get that window handle?

What I already tried (but do not consider a solution):

(1) A workaround I'm currently using is to call set_param('myModel/Scope1','Open','On'), which sometimes makes that window the current figure, so I can use "gcf" afterwards to get the handle. But that doesn't work safely and also has unwanted side-effects.

(2) Using findobj(0,'type','figure','tag','SIMULINK_SIMSCOPE_FIGURE') to get an array of all Scope window handles doesn't help because afterwards I can't identify the Scope window in that array by its 'Name' field only: There might be 'myModel/Scope1' and 'myModel/sub/Scope1' or 'anotherModel/Scope1', so 'Name' is not unique.

There does not seem to be a documented way of getting handle to the scope window from the full-name of the scoped block.

However, as I understand, you wish to manipulate he display properties of the scope window using the handle. This can be done by obtaining 'ScopeConfiguration' object of the scope block. You can refer the following documentation pages which explain this workflow.
