How to save "meta" information in a scene

I am coming from a Unity background and there I just had a component of some custom class in the scene which I could then easily get by calling FindInScene<CustomComponent> or something like that. Not in Godot this doesn't work, because I didn't find a way to get the actual class of an attached script. I always just get GDScript as the class name even though I did specify a custom one.

The information I want to save are things like: where to spawn players, how many laps will this race have, maybe save references to the spawned players, etc.

So how would I save this "meta" information to get by another script in Godot?

EDIT: here is an example: I have a main scene which can load different levels. When loading a level I need to get some information about that level, like: the available spawn points. Inside each level I have a node with a script attached to it that defined class_name LevelMeta and holds the meta information that I need when loading the level. How do I detect this script and the associated meta information?
