I don't know the answer to your question, and it
is quite possible that you have thought of the 
following but it's better if you decide if it is
useful:

You might try a couple of the built-in, Reskit or
support tools:

"Dir /ad" (attribute directory) will find junctions
or reparse points which you could parse with Perl
(etc) and feed to either LinkD.exe or FSUtil.exe
such, e.g.:

  fsutil reparsepoint query c:\prog

(...and you would need to further parse the output 
to do anything useful probably.)

Problem is that the tools that "know" about junctions
don't search for them so you have to use something like
"dir" to first find them so it is a bit ugly.
