So I found a way to do this - basically, script is searching for the component name in the active document and listing number of instances into collection, then finding last item number from this collection and use it to search again using part number + instance ID. Here's the code that took me...
'get' as in 'read from file' I suppose
When in Catia opening the part, you get little preview on the side, that's what I would like to replicate in my own VB form.
I am either missing some documentation or this does not exist - how can I get Catia file preview?

Dim Document As ProductDocument
Set Document = CATIA.ActiveDocument
Dim MainProduct As Product
Set MainProduct = Document.Product
Set Prod = MainProduct.Products
Dim arrayOfVariantOfBSTR( 0) ' Quantity loaded documents-1...

Naturally I came to this idea that it would be nice o have a button that would send the CATpart...
