Which objects?

PathItems?

In Groups or CompoundPaths Or in Selections or in Layers/Sublayers/Document?

Fill color opacity? Or Stroke color opacity? Or Opacity in multiple colors/strokes?

In Gradients?

Unfortunately, not everything can be accessed with scripting!

For the beginning:

// select (only) one pathItem before running this snippet
var aSel = app.activeDocument.selection[0];
if (aSel.typename == "PathItem" && aSel.opacity < 100) alert(aSel.opacity);

It's pageItems in document.

I want to find all objects with opacity applied (< 100), regardless of what it is, pathItems,groupItems,text or others pageItems can....

// select (only) one pathItem before running this snippet
var aSel = app.activeDocument.selection[0];
if (aSel.typename == "PathItem" && aSel.opacity < 100) alert(aSel.opacity);

This is really a good beginning:
