You might be able to find it in a library backup, in particular in the OPF file.

This isn't something I would build. Reasons: There is no way to know which fields are important and which are not. There are be name conflicts, type conflicts, or value conflicts. There is no way to know when they should go away or whether they should propagate to further libraries. Too much of a can of worms. Of course, if someone else is interested in trying, have at it.
