get SURFACE TYPE of contact point

SURFACE TYPE aircraft variable returns ID of the surface under CG point

<ENABLE_SURFACE_TYPE_#> / <DISABLE_SURFACE_TYPE_#> parameter toggle effect visibility depends on surface type under CONTACT POINT


My question - is it possible with XML/SimConnect/JS to get surface type of contact points? I have followed effects template code but it ends as adding SurfaceType attribute, which is then read by sim code I guess rather than use any existing sim variables logic.

Alternative solutions may exist - configure the effect to be triggered by the surface I need, then read by XML state of this effect (is it active or not).
