To get variable names referencing an object in mission namespace:

KK_fnc_objectVarNames = {
    private "_names";
    _names = [];
    {
        if (missionNamespace getVariable _x isEqualTo _this) then {
            _names pushBack _x;
        };
    } forEach allVariables missionNamespace;
    _names
};

// Example
myGroup = group player;
aGroup = group player;
hint str (group player call KK_fnc_objectVarNames); // ["agroup", "mygroup"]
