Currently this is a little bit awkward. Each EmbeddedObject in Writer or OLEShape in the other applications has a property "ClassId" that identifies the type of object. The ClassId is unique for each type of object but IIRC there are no definitions for the possible values available. Internally we also have the better property "MediaType" that gives readable type names but it's not available via API.
