I assume you're trying to check from the player object and not the container.

The inventory component keeps tracks of all open containers in 

inventory.opencontainers

So you could probably just check that. Maybe something like:

for inst in pairs(player.components.inventory.opencontainers) do
	print(player, "has a container of prefab", inst.prefab, "open")
end

Most, if not all components keep track of their instance in a "inst" field.

So you can do

-- assuming "container" is a container component
print(container.inst.prefab)
