Is there a way to tell if a particular item is a quest item?

Is there a way to tell if the item is a "no-drop" quest item (like the barrich device)? In particular I'm interested in figuring out if it's the kind of item that stays in your inventory when your ship is destroyed.

Hello!
You need to edit the item XML file and add "quest_item" to the "flags" element like we done for some quests items available in the game.

I see, and is there a way to check for this flag using the API or do I have to go and read the xml file?
