How to get Chain Up vector object?

How to get Chain Up vector object?

If you turn “Chain Critical Zone” on in the display options, and the
resolution plane is set to upvector, you can see the resolution plane’s
triangle pointing at your object.

This is only good to visualize things, to find it from the explorer…. Dunno,
don’t think there’s a way actually, not even the selection options in the
constrain panel.

Subject: How to get Chain Up vector object?





Sorry I'm missing an obvious button somewhere.

-SkeletonUpVectorOp spdl is non-existant
-One can use .UpVectorReference via scripting.
But how just in the GUI can one get the upvector object from a chain or
bone?
Thank you, Graham
