It is possible to see HITs for example with

I would say that the standard semantics of the kernel network
interface API (ioctl) is insufficient for such a query. HIPL
developers please correct me if you have more accurate information.
For HIP applications, native sockets are an option to retrieve types.
I assume you could bind to different HITs and get information via the
extended API. In shell, a hackish approach would be digging the
information out of /etc/hip/.
