user IF question: is there a reverse lookup mechanism?

[ maybe a bit off-topic ?]
With the activities started to move "legacy" (pre-ARIN) internet
resource delegations for the non-ARIN region, and with the globally
unique handle discussion in mind, I've got a question...
In the ancient past a particular person was registered with a NIC handle
of RP1126. Those handles have been (still are) accepted in the RIPE-DB).
When ARIN moved objects to their own database, quite a while ago, some
(all) relevant person objects were copied to the local DB, but obviously
the suffix -ARIN was added during that process. So, this very same
individual has ended up with another handle: RP1126-ARIN (and probably
the old RP1126 somewhere at NSI, too :-)
Now, I am wondering, is there any whois-mechanism to find all the
objects in the ARIN DB that reference (point to) that handle, i.e.
the equivalent to a RIPE-style inverse lookup of
"$ whois -r -i zone-c,tech-c,admin-c RP1126[-ARIN]" ?
Grateful for any input or help,
Wilfried.
