Like Floyd says, there’s no (REST) API to fetch these dependent assets.

Are you trying to fetch them for all fields, or just for the currently highlighted field?

I was looking at a similar problem just the other day. I put together a script I can run in the F12 console that will give you that page's Used-By, incl. text and link (I manually copy&paste those into a speadsheet to send to users to go and remove dependencies afterwards).

You might have to play a bit with the parameters/filters I used to make it work for your case, and replace the URL with your Marketo location.

// Scrape "Used-By" from Marketo Fields Management
let urls = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (let i = 0; i < urls.length; i++) {
  if (urls[i].getAttribute("href") != "#" && typeof urls[i].getAttribute("href") == "string") {
    if (urls[i].getAttribute("href").length > 5 && urls[i].innerText != "None" && urls[i].innerText != "Change Type In Progress") {
      console.log(urls[i].innerText + "," + "https://app-xxx.marketo.com/?meue&meueDataOnlyMode" + urls[i].getAttribute("href"));
    }
  }
}

See if that helps a bit.
