Navigate to Insight, open your object scheme and in here search for the object you want to access through your issues custom field. You can see the ID in the URL

Alternatively you can open your object from your Jira issue directly. Click on the object within your Jira issue and in the pop up click on the key displayed.

With the ID, open the following URL in a new browser tab, while replacing the two variables.

https://<YOUR-JIRA-SERVER>/rest/insight/1.0/object/<YOUR-INSIGHT-OBJECT-ID>

If you got a big unreadable block of text and use google chrome take a look at this extension or use a rest client like postman

You will get something like the following
