win32com: how to connect to a specific instance of a running object?

ago
Is it possible to use win32com.client to connect to a specific instance
of a running application? In particular I am interested in finding the
instance of excel which has a particular spreadsheet opened considering
that there might be more instances of excel running at the same time. I
need to take a "snapshot" of the spreadsheet which contains live feeds.
