Let's say I want to access the minibuffer history elements of an arbitrary command from lisp.

Is there a reliable way to programmatically determine the history variable used by that command?

`C-h v minibuffer-history-variable':

minibuffer-history-variable is a variable defined in `C source code'.

Its value is minibuffer-history

Documentation:
History list symbol to add minibuffer values to.
Each string of minibuffer input, as it appears on exit from the minibuffer,
is added with
  (set minibuffer-history-variable
  (cons STRING (symbol-value minibuffer-history-variable)))
