How to determine the status of FMP tables in the Window menu

        Is there a way via AppleScript to tell if a FileMaker db is "hidden"?
I don't mean a hidden window like when using the Hide Window command, but a
hidden file - when it's listed in the Window menu surrounded by (parentheses).

        Doing this:

on is_db_open(db_name)
        tell application "FileMaker Pro 18 Advanced"
                if database db_name exists then
                        return true
                else
                        return false
                end if
        end tell
end is_db_open

returns true either way.  I need a way to distinguish the status of the tables
in the Window menu.

Thanks,
Marc
