Once you have the DBID for the element which you can obtain with a viewer call to the selection of the object. viewer.getSelection() will give you that DBID that we will use later.

You can use the method getProperties(dbid, callback) For example something like this.

var myDbid = viewer.getSelection();
viewer.getProperties(myDbid, function(e){
      console.log('Entire object response ',e);
      console.log('Properties ',e.properties)
});

This should give you the information of the category you are looking for.
