The class wire is simply a reference to the classes instance.
That's not entirely accurate, since the data on the wire points to a single instance of that class (i.e. if you split a wire, you get a new instance), so a more accurate description would be that the wire *is* an instance.
To be honest, that description isn't accurate either, since you can split a wire in a single instance (e.g. when you do an unbundle and a bundle on the same wire), but it's generally true.
As for the context help window, you should note that the whole hiding issue is entirely an IDE thing. The only reason you can't see the class data in VIs outside the class is that NI wrote it that way. When they did that, they also wrote it so that the CH window will be able to see the class data.
Incidentally, the control is probably saved in the lvclass file and you might be able to extract it from there for analysis.
P.S. Why do you actually want to do this?
