It's not possible, not from a simple exporter plugin.The exporter lives entirely in the VTK world without any knowledge of proxies. A unconventional approach would be explicitly make the exporter plugin link agains the pqCore library, then you can access the pqApplicationCore and other singletons (like ProxyManager) and get information about what sources are present and what their names are (this is acceptable since exporter work entirely on the client-side). It is still, however, non trivial to determine which actor corresponds to what source proxy.
