If you know the DLL, in theory, you could have a DCM that runs frequently that
checks for this, or setup a WMI event to monitor for it and write something to
a custom WMI table to be picked up in Inventory. Many ways to slice this bread.
Powershell to list all loaded DLLs
Get-WmiObject -class CIM_ProcessExecutable | Where-Object {$_.Antecedent -like
"*.dll*"}

Yep, software metering won’t help. Not sure if telemetry will even tell you
that.

Thanks Jason. I did suggest that couple of weeks ago but he keeps asking to do
it with CM. I figured this wasn't possible but wanted to ask just in case
someone found a creative way here.

No. ConfigMgr software metering requires an exe.
You can use Office telemetry though for this task:

Subject: [mssms] Software Metering - Office Add-Ins
Is there a way to enable metering for Office Add-ins? Lot of legal clients
have applications integrated with Office particularly Word and Outlook. Most
of these are not EXEs but COM Add-in which are DLLs. I have one customer
wanted to know if his users are using those add-ons or not and want to be able
to meter those.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
