not possible w/o building up a list of nodes yourself and using nodeCoord command to then go check.

I found this command in the command manual but there's no desciption. Does this mean that the command isn't available or has been removed?

the command was switched to eleNodes $eleTag and it returns the nodes associated with a given element. not what you want.

it would be easier for you to build OpenSees and add a command to do it .. just remember to add some tolerance on nodeCoords.
