The only way I know is to read the plugin. I use two plugins that
save the output of ctags to a variable and they both use the
system() function to capture the output of the ctags command, as in
this example from the taglist.vim plugin:

" Run ctags and get the tag list
let cmd_output = system(ctags_cmd)

I found that by searching the plugin for the name of the ctags
program, then following the code that built the ctags_cmd string.
