If we are using Ignition Edge, Hive MQ, and Ignition Engine, would we be able to get the OPC Item Path from Ignition Engine?

I am trying to display the OPC Item Path on a screen being built on Ignition Designer where the tags are stored as Memory Tags. We discussed possibly creating a database that holds the rebirth messages from these tags and then querying the database to get the OPC Item Path and some other data.

I'm not sure that I understand the question, but the OPC item path is available in the tag as, sensibly enough, `OpcItemPath`. e.g.  
`[default]Plant/Group/Machine/CounterGood.OpcItemPath`

Expand the tag in Tag Browser and you can read the values.
