Sure — call the Obj-C runtime function property_getAttributes(). You'll first
want to call class_getProperty() to get the objc_property_t pointer
representing the property. If the property was declared in a superclass, you'll
need to manually walk up the class hierarchy until you find the base class that
has it.
For an example of how to use this, you can take a look at
https://github.com/snej/MYUtilities/blob/master/MYDynamicObject.m
especially the functions getPropertyInfo() and getPropertyType().
