Get object and the modifier data_path using python

Question

I have a modifier object

<bpy_struct, SubsurfModifier("Subdivision") at 0x0000021FF0A3AF28>

and i was wondering how can i extract the full data_path from that modifier object without the need of using a loop on the scene to find the corresponding object

so from there i want to have this

bpy.data.objects['Icosphere'].modifiers["Subdivision"] 

and this too

bpy.data.objects['Icosphere']

which is the name of the object that has that modifier applied to it

Thanks

You can usually get a handle on an object's holder with bpy_struct.id_data.

import bpy

obj = bpy.data.objects["Cube"]
mod = obj.modifiers["Array"]
print(mod.id_data)

<bpy_struct, Object("Cube") at 0x000001E51A4D4808>

You can get the data path with bpy_struct.path_from_id.

print(mod.path_from_id())

modifiers["Array"]

object_path = repr(mod.id_data)
print(object_path)
full_path = f"{object_path}.{mod.path_from_id()}"
print(full_path)

bpy.data.objects["Cube"]

bpy.data.objects["Cube"].modifiers["Array"]
