Get workbench part instance. [message #482564]

Hi!
How can I programmatically access a view part instance? I have only found
this API:
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage().getActivePart();

Unfortunately I use this method in a Handler an get only the view part
where the command has been executed. I need to get the instance of an
other view part, specified by its id. (of course only if it has been
already opened).

Is this basically possible?
Cheers,
Matthias
