• is this a one time kind of thing?

    you could create a VIEW that uses the query, then check sys.sql_expression_dependencies for the objects, and then drop the view again:

    select

    OBJECT_NAME(referencing_id) As ViewName,

    OBJECT_NAME(referenced_id) As ReferencedObject

    from sys.sql_expression_dependencies

    WHERE OBJECT_NAME(referencing_id) = 'VW_MyTempVIEW'
