sorry I realized this is a complex question.
I have a study for pivot point to draw extension line until future intersection. I would like to use the reference ID# for another study when this line actually has been crossed by price at some point without to define the time period if possible. I hope I make myself clear this time. thx

Lines that are extended until a future intersection are not available through any built-in study. You can access these through a custom study, however. Refer to the following:
sc.GetStudyLineUntilFutureIntersection()

Although we are a little confused about what Pivot Point lines you are extending until the future, as the built-in Pivot Point studies draw a line through the entire current day, so there is no need to extend it. With the built-in studies, you would just need to reference the study ID and subgraph of the Pivot Point level you want. You would not need to look at anything other than the last bar, since the Pivot Points are straight lines.

Depending on what exactly you want to do with this would determine how you would use it. For example, if this is going into an Alert, then the alert would look like the following:
= C > IDx.SGy

Where x is the ID number of the Pivot Point study and y is the Subgraph number of the Pivot Point level you want to reference. Note that the above only captures the situation where the last price goes above the pivot point level (i.e. from below it crosses to above).

John, thank you very much for your reply. I am terribly sorry I did not use correct words for my question. the line with extend until future intersection is from a color bar based on alert condition study, IDx.SG2. I would like to find the bar crossing this line at some point. thx

The same answer still applies, the information for lines that are extended until future intersection is not available through any built-in study. Therefore you will not be able to create an alert against those extended lines unless you create a custom study.
