Suppose a user inputs a list of CellObject-s to operate on. How might one check these objects to determine if they actually belong to the EvaluationNotebook? Here is a given sample:
cells = Cells[CellStyle->"Input"]

You can do this to check whether they all belong there:
DeleteDuplicates[ParentNotebook /@ cells] === { EvaluationNotebook[] }

1$\begingroup$ @JulesManson the key is
ParentNotebook[_CellObject], this gives you information about cell's notebook, then you can do whatever you need. I chose this way, it should do the job but feel free to do whatever you wish. $\endgroup$– Kuba ♦Jan 20 at 8:15 -
