I'm aware of the concept, but it's hardly reliable for the vast majority of frames. Nameplates are a rare exception because of some of their attributes.
Nameplates are unnamed children of the worldframe whose GetTexture() call returns Interface\TargetingFrame\UI-TargetingFrame-Flash
My frame has no defining attributes at all, and isn't a child of anything. While this isn't necessarily the case for the frame in question, finding these defining attributes (if they exist) wouldn't be trivial.
