Retrieve the custom form behind any form

Hello,
I have a technical question. We use custom layouts in our PowerPoint documents and use predefined texts in some textframes in these custom layouts.
When adding a new slide based on this custom layout, the predefined text is shown as placeholder in our textframe like it should.
My question is: with NetOffice, how can I retrieve the text of the placeholder?
I have looked at the different properties in the Shape model but didn't find anything relevant.
The only thing I found is "CustomLayout" in the Slide model, which then leads me to the "original" shape containing the "placeholder" text BUT I can't find any link between this "custom shape" and the one on the slide.
Is this possible?
Thanks
The slide should have a reference to the CustomLayout it was created with: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/powerpoint.slide.customlayout
As I said, yes, I found the CustomLayout from the slide, but what I want is to find the shape in that CustomLayout that corresponds to the shape in my slide.
