Is there a way to retrieve either event structure or event name from a given event instance using blueprints?  
The idea is very simple: I’d like to check if the music actually playing is an instance of a specific event.

Currently the necessary calls to grab the event’s path (`eventDescription::getPath()`) is currently not available for blueprints. If you need this you will need to use C++ scripting.
